VIA will return to the X86 handheld processors market from Zhaoxin Semiconductor

It seems that the x86 processor market is encouraged. And again it is again thanks to the support of the Chinese government. That is jointly owned by VIA. Also, that will bring VIA Technologies to the forefront with a dominated market for an Intel and AMD. That is besieged by processors based on the ARM architecture.

VIA still maintains an x86 license although they have not produced any convincing CPU in many years. And this is where Zhaoxin comes into play and is that he has been working on a new x86 design for a CPU. Unfortunately, we do not know what kind of processor will be treated. But it complies with all current standards. And that means that it will work at +2.00 GHz, being compatible with USB 3.1 Gen1 and Gen2 connectivity, SATA III 6.0 Gbps, PCI-Express 3.0, and the support of the DDR4 RAM.X86, VIA will return to the X86 handheld processors market from Zhaoxin Semiconductor, Optocrypto

Further ahead would come to an even faster processor known for now as VIA KX-6000. That will operate at a frequency of +3.00 GHz after a manufacturing process of 16nm FinFET + by TSMC. Even further, there is the talk of a VIA KX-7000. That will support the next DDR5 memory standard next to the PCI-Express 4.0 interface.

Now everything revolves around what market will seek to get the tip of the foot. Also, if it will ask to compete with the processors AMD Ryzen and Intel Coffee Lake. Or if it will try to get into the world of data centers, servers, laptops and a long etcetera. Time will tell what VIA is up to with its return to the “high performance” x86 segment.
