It turns out that China's Huawei is developing a CPU with performance comparable to AMD's Zen 3rd generation CPU



Benchmark results for a CPU that is believed to be under development by Huawei have been registered on the Geekbench score collection site. The registered CPU is presumed to be a server CPU, and shows performance comparable to Intel and AMD server CPUs.

Below are the benchmark results of a CPU that is believed to be made by Huawei and was registered on the Geekbench site on February 20, 2024. The device name is 'Huawei Cloud OpenStack Nova' and the single-core score is 1529 points and the multi-core score is 2806 points.



The CPU architecture uses Arm's 'Armv8', and the model used for benchmarking is 1 core and 2 threads. Also, since Geekbench is running on Huawei's cloud OS '

Huawei Cloud EulerOS 2.0 ', it is assumed that Huawei Cloud OpenStack Nova is a server CPU. In addition, Tom's Hardware, an overseas media outlet, speculates that the true identity of Huawei Cloud OpenStack Nova is 'Kunpeng 930' equipped with 'Taishan V120' core, based on benchmark scores and 'it is assumed that it is a CPU for servers'.

Checking Geekbench's

CPU single core score ranking , Huawei Cloud OpenStack Nova with a single core score of 1529 points, ' Intel Xeon E3-1275 v6 ' with 1518 points, ' AMD EPYC 7413 ' with 1538 points, ' Intel Xeon E' with 1539 points It can be seen that it has the same single-core performance as ``-2286M ''.



AMD EPYC 7413 is a Zen 3 generation CPU released in 2021. In other words, Huawei Cloud OpenStack Nova has the same performance as Zen 3 generation server CPUs. AMD is already shipping Zen 4 generation server CPUs, which have higher performance than the Zen 3 generation, but it is difficult to import Zen 3-equivalent CPUs in China, where it is difficult to import high-performance chips due to sanctions imposed by the United States. It would be a major advance if we could manufacture it.

In addition, Huawei has been announcing one after another high-performance software and hardware that avoids sanctions from the United States, such as `` HarmonyOS NEXT equipped with its own kernel '' and ``Notebook PC equipped with Qingyun L540 manufactured using a 5nm process.'' Furthermore, in February 2023, it has been reported that SMIC plans to produce a 5nm chip designed by HiSilicon, a subsidiary of Huawei.

However, regarding Huawei's independently developed 5G chips , some have pointed out that ``there is no evidence that Huawei can mass-produce 5G chips.''

The US government points out that there is ``no evidence that mass production is possible'' for the 7nm process 5G chip installed in Huawei's new smartphone ``Mate 60 Pro'' - GIGAZINE
