They will still be far behind, with zen 4/5 being out by that point, but it will be interesting to watch over the next decade.

@@vyor8837 Not enough publicly disclosed security vulnerabilities for that, so there's still room to grow in order to compete with the top 😂

@@vyor8837 From what I found there were some chinese news outlets claiming some level of parity with the i5-6500 or i5-7400. Some just said parity ambiguously (but referred to benchmarks which scale well with threads), some said parity in multithreaded tasks. In terms of multithreaded tasks, it depends on the benchmark. Some Chess benchmarks it performs worse, Cinebench R20 the release chips perform basically dead on the same. The engineering sample tests leaked in late 2017 had it at about 33% worse for multithreaded, while the chips were released in 2019 after delays but were at that performance. So, single threaded is far worse, multithreaded is on parity with the chips. After looking into it more, it seems to be (in terms of performance) an FX-8370 (above in some benchmarks, equal in others, but you get the idea). Achieving this with 3ghz vs the 4/4.3 base/turbo of the fx-8370 shows some decent improvement over the chip GN tested. As I said before, they're still quite a ways behind but it's reaching/has reached the point where the Chinese Government can happily use them for office machines in government installations and the like, basic machines which can't be airgapped and such.

well compared to now that you have CPUs with several hundred dead pins Socket 7 was better. I am not kidding either Intel sockets have dead pins meaning unused not used for electrical positive, electrical negative, ground nor the sometimes needed part of a 1 pin separator to have no cross talk signals between bigger and/or thicker parts in a electrical system. For cross talk they have solved it already with whatever they have put into the socket then into the chip so then you only have the in, out signals then ground.

@@andrew8293 Well the video stated that they have a relationship with Via and Cyrix. See back in the day Intel actually sold rights to manufacture x86 processors. This is how AMD got access to it, and later when Intel tried to revoke all licenses and started suing various manufacturers, various lawsuits came about. AMD one a royalty free license to the Am386 design and owned the rights to any design built from that base point. Other companies like Via and Cyrix started about reverse engineering versions of the architecture as well based on this base architecture back then as well. That's how they made and sole processors that were compatible through the 90's and even early 2000's (Via was big in the small form factor x86 PC market back in the mid 2000's, I remember building one myself). Now here's the thing. That base x86 architecture, that's what Windows cares about! All new expansions of the x86 instruction set are tacked on to the end. Note, AMD and Intel have been independently developing the architecture since this split way back when. This means that through the 90's and into the early 2000's Microsoft was contending with the fact that there were 2 independent big players as well as a bunch of small players. So design wise the kernel has been contending with this fact the entire time. So, it's designed in a way to deal with that. The kernel will use a newer instruction if it's available, otherwise falling back to a software based solution if the instruction doesn't exist. So as long as you have that base x86 architecture, Windows doesn't care, it'll keep trucking on forward. At one cost... PERFORMANCE. Hence why this CPU is dog ass slow. It just doesn't have all those newer high-end math instructions. Hence why all the benchmarks they employed were god awful. It was doing all that math in software! I bet it performs just fine as a general purpose UI processor. It probably runs word processors just fine (which is what a government office computer is going to need). This is why dude man in the video later talked about hitting the road running. They don't have as much to make up from here. All they have to do is develop those newer faster instructions. And here's the nice thing here... they don't actually have to reverse engineers those. The instructions are defined. We know their interface... the way to call them, and the way to use their results. That's all that's really needed. And of course we know them, because if we didn't the likes of Microsoft, Apple, the linux community, and any other OS developer out there could not reliably create software that runs on that processor. Furthermore, if you want a very stable OS that runs across decades of hardware (like Windows), you're not going to exploit those functions/instructions. Like... OK, if f(x) is defined to take inputs on registers 1 and 2, and have an output in register 0. Just because it MIGHT also place a remainder in some other register because it used it as a scratch register. You don't read that register for anything. It's not part of the definition. This means it's unreliable... if you did rely on that, and then the hardware manufacturer changed its internal behaviour, then your software breaks! This concept is called encapsulation. And as a software engineer, even if you know how to break encapsulation, you do so at your own risk. And this is how an OS like Windows operates... (and of course Windows has become more stable over the years for various reasons... including respecting these things and purging parts of the kernel that exploit hacks like this). Of course in more embedded systems where you know the specific hardware, you can exploit it willingly, to get that extra edge. Say in things like video game consoles. So, the jobs of these companies are really to come up with their own implementations of those instructions. Just making sure that inputs and outputs are shaped the same as the definition is. And as long as they do that they'll have nearly perfect stability (of course perfect stability is impossible... there's all sorts of mishaps that can impact this... but they're severely limited at this point because OSs compensate for it). The problem here isn't stability... it's creating performant hardware implementations of these instructions and packing them into the silicone. That's the intellectual property that AMD and Intel hold on to. In simple terms... it's not knowing if they need to implement square-root, that they know. It's knowing how to create an algorithm on silicone that does square-root as fast as AMD/Intel can do it in their chips (replace sqrt with a far more complicated instruction). Of course, software that is designed to directly access specific instructions can become more unstable because they do have much higher expectations on the hardware you're running. Software that more directly accesses hardware to perform more time sensitive processes like video games, renderers, etc which need to perform more modern maths. These will become far more unstable and is why most of the tests that failed in this video were related to these. Mind you things from here get a little more complicated into regards of x86-64, since this is technically a different set of instructions developed by AMD on top of x86 and holds the licensing rights to. But this problem is just legal licensing issues (hence the videos long rambling about the complicated business relationships and how AMD was involved but no longer involved due to various legal/political hub-bub). But the hardware side principal stands the same. The right to sell hardware the uses the instruction sets has nothing to do with how stable it will be. TLDR; Via and Cyrix are involved, and they already did most of the leg work of gaining access to the x86 architecture back in the 80's and 90's, as well as more leg work in more recent years with AMD to get the x86-64 base architecture. Tacked on with the fact that Microsoft explicitly designs their OS to be fault tolerant due to its need to support decades worth of evolving hardware. Means it can be very stable as long as the core x86 instruction set exists, if only at the impact of performance.

@@lordofduct well I just read the TLDR because you wrote a lot. I thought the same thing about Cyrix and Via but they reverse engineered the 386 and 486 and partly the 586 before going out of busniess. Windows 10 relies on AMD's AMD64. (64 bit) and Intel's 686/786 (32 bit) ISAs which are much more complex than the old 386-586 ISAs. Especially since Intel and AMD change it all the time. Edit: I read about the faster math functions and the fact that we know how the I/O works it was easy to make a chip thats compatible. That probably helped a lot but that probably isn't enough to make a chip that stable on an OS they have no control over.

Uh, is that all you got from this video? Performance is bad, but what's *extremely* interesting is the nexus of international politics, intellectual property, and microprocessors.

This one is a quad core but no threads

Indeed, I always expect to see random garbage political China bashing whenever something Chinese is involved in a tech video, and this was a breath of fresh air.

This is the older generation, their new generation using 16nm process can almost match a 7th gen i5(although its 8 cores vs 4 cores, so still a long way to compete) The performance increase between each generation is huge. Their next gen planned for end 2020 or early 2021 will be on 7nm with major architecture improvement.

@@qiyuxuan9437 thanks for the info

The thing is that , the CPU needs to have new architecture which does not violate IP's from both Intel and AMD, this is in itself some big news as far as CPU development is concerned.Give em 5 -8 years before they can successfully compete with Intel and AMD. Security and Privacy aside, at the end of the day this is good news for the consumers with regards to Performance and Price.
