Hexus published Zhaoxin aiming at 2021 release for its 7nm x86 CPUs A quote from the article:
KX-7000 series with DDR5 and PCIe 4.0 for client computing, KH-40000 for servers. Last week Zhaoxin unveiled its plans for client and server processors for 2021. Looking at the client computing update first, the new KX-7000 series will use a new PCU microarchitecture design and be fabricated at 7nm. TSMC will be doing the honours on its N7 process. WikiChip says that the timescale is expected to be 2021 for this release - if all goes to plan. The source notes that "the company's current SoC and core design is still rather weak in terms of IPC and power efficiency," but there is reasonable hope for this next gen to push forward on both fronts.
