Huawei 24-Core 7 nm Kunpeng CPU Reportedly Beats Intel Core i9-9900K

Huawei is preparing itself against further United States government technology bans with the introduction of its ARM-based 7 nm Kunpeng 920 CPUs in desktop systems for the Chinese government and enterprise markets. The specific chip used in this upcoming computer is the Kunpeng 920 3211K CPU which features 24 cores clocked at 2.6 GHz paired with 8 GB DDR4 memory, 512 GB Samsung SSD, and an AMD Radeon RX 520 GPU. This specific configuration reportedly beats Intel's Core i9-9900K 8-core processor in multi-core performance, while single-core performance is not reported as it likely lags far behind the high clock speeds of the Core i9-9900K. The desktop runs a custom Linux derived UOS operating system and cannot run Windows 10.

silentbogoLooks a bit similar to older HP Z-series workstation chassis. Not sure who makes those, but it might be Foxconn.
Made me think of a modern take on the z400-z440 models. Render or not, I do like this case design for a workstation.

16 of those cores are dedicated to CCP backdoors. :pimp:

efikkanThere is no way an ARM chip can match the performance of a powerful x86 CPU.
This is only the beginning. Get used to such news. The fastest supercomputer in the world is ARM-based - SUPERCOMPUTER FUGAKU - SUPERCOMPUTER FUGAKU, A64FX 48C 2.2GHZ, TOFU INTERCONNECT D at the RIKEN Center for Computational Science Japan, 2020:

I am going to switch to ARM - can't wait.

:D

InVasManiI have a lot of music equipment and nearly all of it is made in Japan.
So did I, in the 90's.............

ZoneDymoMy car beats the Intel Core I9 10900k at transporting me somewhere.
My Prius can beat your car in gas mileage, but I'll take the 10900k for sexiness.

for my previous post, other than the "it might have spyware", I wanna know how will it perform in real world testing.

No need to use cores. They have an in-house BMC for this.

That's about as close as you get to reviews, until these actually hit the market. Just multiply all multicore results by x3 :D :D :D
Huawei has a bunch of Kunpeng-based servers already listed, with a decent possibility of buying those internationally (which means we might see some proper reviews next year or so).

FreedomEclipseI wonder how hard it would be to smuggle one out of china for testing
The hard part is smuggling it into the west, I'm sure the Chinese are fine with selling you the systems.
Probably better to not attempt it to the US because Trump's goons will rough you up good and take an eye out if experience teaches us something.
