I guess this would be the right place for Zhaoxin discussion even though its VIA's x86 license? The long rumored and leaked ZX-F / KX-7000 is now official:

I imagine they are reusing already existing Intel packaging for cost savings. Why reinvent the wheel when you can copy/use something that already exists, the Chinese way! The performance target is apparently a Ryzen 7 1700.

Supposedly this is going to be on a 7nm proccess, and it looks like they have finally ditched the ancient S3 GPU they have integrated into their last few products, as its boasting DX12 and h265 decode.
