Hygon 8-core Chinese CPU matches Zen 2 multi-threaded performance in Geekbench

Tongfang Chaoxiang H880-T3M Desktop.

China's homemade CPUs have not been very competitive compared to Western competitors, but that appears to be changing. According to IT Home, a desktop sporting a Hygon C86 3350 CPU was benchmarked by a Bilibili content creator on Geekbench, showing Zen 2 levels of performance.

The chip was benchmarked inside a Tsinghua H880-T3M desktop PC aimed at government and enterprise customers. The unit sports 8GB of RAM, a 256GB SSD, and a mysterious 2GB graphics card. Strangely, the Geekbench results say the system has 64GB of memory, so take the RAM rating with a grain of salt. The processor itself is an 8-core SKU featuring a base frequency of 3GHz.
