China's Zhaoxin KX-7000 CPU was tested in several benchmarks against similarly performing Intel and AMD CPUs. @9550pro on X was the first to find the information in a now-deleted video posted to bilibili. The benchmarks revealed that the KX-7000 is 2x to 3x faster than its predecessor, but is only capable of competing with Kaby Lake quad-core CPUs. The chip was tested by Asus' Tony Yu on a new Asus motherboard made specifically for the KX-7000.
Testing was conducted in several benchmarks including Geekbench 6 and CPU-Z 2.08, comparing the KX-7000 to the Core i5-7500, Core i7-7700K, and Ryzen 7 1700X. At stock clocks, the KX 7000 achieved 351 points in the CPU-Z single-core score and 2,654 points in the multi-core score. In CPU-Z the KX-7000 was 20% slower than the Core i5-7500 but 43% quicker in the mutli-core test.
