New CPU from China's sole x86 chipmaker grapples with AMD's Bulldozer in Geekbench results — lower-end model isn't the fastest, but it gives Zhaoxin a full roster of CPUs for use in the country [Updated]

Zhaoxin.

Update 12/24/23: Clarified details of this new 'G2' variant. 

A Geekbench 6 result for Zhaoxin's x86 KX-6640MA G2 CPU has been uncovered, and the performance is about on par with an early 2010s AMD Bulldozer CPU (via @BenchLeaks). The new chip falls into the KX-6000G series. The KX-6000 series came out in 2019, but the KX-6640MA G2 is a relatively recent model that arrived in late 2021, and this Geekbench 6 result is perhaps the first time it has ever been publicly tested.
