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
A Geekbench 6 result for Zhaoxin’s x86 KX-6640MA CPU has been uncovered, and the performance is about on par with an early 2010s AMD Bulldozer CPU (via @BenchLeaks). The KX-6000 series came out in 2019, but the KX-6640MA appears to be a relatively recent model that arrived by late 2021, and this Geekbench 6 result is perhaps the first time it has ever been publicly tested.
On Geekbench 6, the 6640MA scored 386 points in the single-core test and 1,110 points in the multi-core test. For reference, that’s just about on par with AMD’s Bulldozer generation FX-4100 from 2011, which Geekbench 6 rates at 414 and 1,103 points in single- and multi-core performance respectively.
