Alleged Zhaoxin KX-6000G benchmarks surface — Chinese-made chips perform like CPUs from the late 2000s but uses less power

Zhaoxin.

Geekbench 5 scores for Zhaoxin's KX-6000G CPU have leaked out, allegedly revealing that the processor has about the same performance as high-end desktop chips from the late 2000s (via @BenchLeaks). Though the CPU certainly isn't very fast, it does operate at such a low power level that might make it suitable for laptops, which would put it roughly between Intel's 4th Generation Haswell and 5th Generation Broadwell Core i3 CPUs. Treat the results with a pinch of salt.

The exact name of this KX-6000G model isn't clear. Zhaoxin's spec sheet for the KX-6000G series indicates that there are two different CPUs, but without any specific names attached. We at least know this chip isn't the KX-6640MA G2 from last month, which is a different CPU from the regular KX-6640MA. The KX-6000G tested in Geekbench 5 is the model with the lower TDP of 15 watts, and consequently operates at a lower frequency. It has four cores and four threads, 4MB of L2 cache, and can use up to 64GB of DDR4-3200, which puts this CPU firmly in the low-end.
