We at Chips and Cheese have covered two Chinese CPU architectures: Zhaoxin’s x86 compatible Lujiazui architecture found in the KX-6000 series of CPUs and Phytium’s ARM compatible FT663 architecture found in the D2000 series of CPUs. Zhaoxin was founded in 2013 as a joint venture between VIA and the Shanghai Municipal Government. Phytium was founded in 2014, and appears to use a Cortex A72-derived architecture in their FTC663. Both are thus relatively new efforts in China’s domestic microprocessor push.
