    As reported by Huawei Central, the new Qingyun W515x is equipped with China’s bleeding-edge octa-core Kirin 9000C processor, which clocks up to 3.1 GHz.

    While the CPU specs remain a secret, the CPU cooler is a low-profile unit that reportedly maintains a chassis temperature below 30C at maximum load. The fan noise level is also quiet, coming in at 21.82 dB.

      Sounds impressive but this should really be the baseline for non enthusiast CPU temps and power draw if x86 processors weren’t so inefficient.

      below 30C at maximum load

      Yeah right. I’ll believe it when I see it tested independently.

      Genuinely seems farfetched.

        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

            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.

            I’m an Iranian computer engineer and a ProleWiki contributor. I’m not coming from a place of malice, I’m stating the facts of the matter on Chinese technology.

                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.
