    Or it’s just shitty small cores? Even China’s best core designes are 10 years behind, even tho they have great tech in some small aspects like their branch prediction system

      10 years behind

      lol you are absolutely taking the piss if you think these are only comparable to Haswell. Orientalist bias is pouring off of this statement from your 9 day old account with an entire 2 comments ever made. The Chinese brainpan just can’t possibly compete!

        maybe-later-honey China is stealing tech patents and its not fair, also their tech is 10 years behind, also they live in a dystopian tech-ruled surveillance state, also their economy is about to collapse, also they are single-handedly destabilizing US hegemony

            I replied to you with this account.

            I would also like to note that the FIRST comment I made with that acc was in defense of China. EDIT: I deleted it actually but I was defending against the Xinjiang bullshit

              10 years is still absolutely ridiculous and you should feel silly for having said that. At most they’re 1 generation behind. Comparing them to Haswell? HASWELL? Really?

              I think you know this was silly and why it provoked a reaction from me.

                Haswell is actually not an ancient core, lot’s of the tech used in Haswell is still relevant today. Fuck, it took RiscV years until they had anything comparable to Haswell’s SIMD.

        Their core designs are more or less way behind, because they needed to learn and create lots of infrastructure technology. Read the Chips and Cheese article on the latest Loongson cores, even tho they have impressive technology in some aspects, the core design is way behind AMD or even Intel.

        Zhaoxin is also a bad joke.

        Kirin in particular is ARM based and they at least have access to ARM core designs, so it’s a surely better situation than fully domestic projects. But still, more single core performance is incredibly hard to achieve, and don’t be surprised to learn that these CPUs are only capable of simple tasks.
