Geekbench 6 results make for interesting reading
Benchmark results for Huawei’s HiSilicon Taishan V120 server CPU have unexpectedly surfaced online, revealing a performance surprisingly on par with AMD’s Zen 3 cores from four years ago.
The results, found on Geekbench here and here, suggest that Huawei’s chip technology may not be far behind leading CPU manufacturers, AMD and Intel.
As Tom’s Hardware reports, the Taishan V120 core, from Huawei’s HiSilicon subsidiary, was first spotted in Huawei’s Kirin 9000s smartphone chip. The new Geekbench 6 results, which were uploaded a few days ago, indicate that the Taishan V120 core is likely manufactured on the second-generation 7nm node, as is the case with the Kirin 9000s chips.Single core benchmarking
The exact CPU model tested remains a mystery however, with the only clue being „Huawei Cloud OpenStack Nova“ on the benchmark pages.
