Huawei 24-core 7nm Kunpeng CPU outperforms Intel Core i9-9900K

Huawei is trying to place itself into the market after being severely affected by technology bans, that also means it will become challenging to ship the Kunpeng 920 CPUs outside the USA given the current situation. And that might make news though.  

Huawei's Kunpeng 920 3211K will be offering 24 cores at 7nm, with a maximum clock speed of 2.6GHz based on ARM's Neoverse N1 microarchitecture. It will also be accompanied by a 512GB Samsung SSD and an AMD Radeon RX 520 GPU. As reported, this specific configuration than to the Intel Core i9-9900K processor eight core performance of multi-core, while the yield of single-core is not reported as it is likely to be far behind the high speeds of the Core i9-9900K or any modern age processor.

Therefore, the fact that the KunPeng 920 in this particular configuration can match the Intel processor in multi-threaded performance with 1.5 times more threads and three times more cores is not that weird. Huawei is expected to promote these computers for use in government agencies and corporate settings, which means that it will come with China's Unified Operating System (UOS). Specific details such as pricing and the exact release date were not revealed.
