On September 29, Zhaoxin officially detailed its Kaisheng KH-50000 series processors, featuring a 96-core configuration built with advanced Chiplet packaging. The series includes 96-core and 72-core variants, running at up to 3.0GHz with 384MB L3 cache, delivering a significant leap in computing density over previous generations.
The processor supports 12-channel DDR5 5200 ECC memory (up to 3TB) and offers 128 lanes of PCIe 5.0 (with CXL and proprietary ZPI interconnect support) plus 16 lanes of PCIe 4.0, matching international standards for high-speed interfaces. Its self-developed ZPI 5.0 technology enables dual or quad-socket scalability, allowing a single server to integrate up to 384 cores.
Security features include integrated Chinese cryptographic acceleration instructions (SM2, SM3, SM4) and a fourth-generation trusted computing module, complying with both domestic GM/T 0012-2020 and international TPM 2.0 standards. The chip maintains full x86 instruction set compatibility and supports mainstream operating systems, targeting AI, cloud computing, and data center applications.
