Chinese processor manufacturer Zhaoxin announced its KH-5000 server processors at Shanghai World Expo 2025. These chips deliver 96 cores compared to the 32 cores found in the current KH-4000 series. The new processors operate at 2.0 GHz base frequency and reach 3.0 GHz boost speeds. Cache memory expands to 384 MB from the previous 64 MB capacity. Performance per clock cycle improves by 30 percent over existing architecture.
The KH-5000 supports 12-channel DDR5 memory and provides 128 PCIe 5.0 lanes. ZPI 5.0 interconnect technology enables quad-socket configurations that deliver up to 384 total cores per motherboard. Zhaoxin also revealed the KX-7000N consumer processor featuring integrated neural processing unit capabilities. The company plans additional AI-focused desktop processors with enhanced core counts and PCIe 5.0 support. Release dates for these processors remain unspecified.
