News & Reviews:   x86 processors

Shanghai Zhaoxin Semiconductor Co recently revealed that their 16nm KX-6000 and KH-30000 x86 CPUs have hit 3.0GHz, which is about the same level as an Intel Core i5-7400 CPU. No actual news whether or not they could be used in Huawei’s upcoming MateBook laptops, but taking a look through the Shanghai Zhaoxin Semiconductor Co site reveals that their x86 CPUs have been featured in actual Lenovo laptops and servers. So, if Huawei is looking for CPU alternatives they may not have to look very far.
