Zhaoxin KX-7000 is one of China ’s latest desktop processors.

It boasts eight cores, a boost clock of up to 3.7 GHz , support for both DDR4 and DDR5 memory, PCIe 4.0 , and C-1190 integrated graphics.

Review shows that old budget chips from Intel and AMD are still firmly in the lead.

The KX-7000 cannot battle modern Intel and AMD CPUs.

However, performance is beside the point for China ’s semiconductor industry.

Self-sufficiency is the more important goal as the US government places more trade restrictions on China .

The US government blocked Intel from selling Meteor Lake CPUs to Huawei earlier this year .
