Zhaoxin's KX-7000 CPU.

DeepSeek's rollout into the Chinese consumer market continues, as Zhaoxin has announced its adoption of the DeepSeek-R1 LLM across its hardware lineup. Zhaoxin, one of the few Chinese companies licensed to work with the x86 instruction set, boasts that its processors and OEM systems can natively run the 1.5B, 7B, 14B, 32B, 70B, and 671B parameter models released by DeepSeek so far.

Zhaoxin's press release mainly highlights two chips: its KaiXian KX-7000/8 consumer processor and Kaisheng KH-40000/32 64-core server processor. The KX-7000/8 is an 8-core model running at 3.7GHz with 32MB of L3 cache. Zhaoxin advertises that the chip can natively run DeepSeek-R1-7 B when paired with an unnamed Chinese GPU. Integrations with word processors and the VSCode interface allow AI-assisted writing, spreadsheets, and programming.
