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.

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