Zhaoxin launched its KH-50000 server processors for the Chinese domestic market on Monday, featuring 96 cores across 12 compute chiplets. The company reported a 30 percent improvement in instructions per clock compared with previous architectures, and the flagship model operates at 2.0 GHz base frequency with 3.0 GHz boost speeds. The processors support 12-channel DDR5 memory, and 128 PCIe 5.0 lanes through the new ZPI 5.0 interconnect technology.
The design allows quad-socket configurations that deliver 384 total cores on one motherboard with 384 megabytes of cache. Zhaoxin simultaneously released the KX-7000N consumer chip with an integrated neural processing unit for artificial intelligence tasks. The server chip packaging resembles AMD EPYC processors in appearance, but the Chinese manufacturer developed its architecture independently for regional technology needs.
