Huawei Cpu Zen 3 Huawei Chip Performance

Huawei's new server CPU based on the HiSilicon Taishan V120 core. The Geekbench 6 benchmark showed single-threaded performance matching AMD's Gen 3 architecture. 

Taishan V120 can be manufactured on SMIC's 7 nm process tip. The Geekbench 6 result posted on social media doesn't identify the exact Huawei server CPU model, but speculations point to the upcoming Kunpeng 930 chip. 

In the benchmark, the Taishan V120 CPU running at 2.9 GHz scored 1527 in the single-core test. It's almost on par with AMD's EPYC 7413 server CPU based on the Gen 3 architecture, which boosts up to 3.6 GHz and scores 1538. 

This matches the single-threaded performance of Intel's Coffee Lake-based Xeon E-2136 from 2018, scoring 1553 points even though the Intel chip reaches a boost speed of 4.5 GHz.

Taishan V120 Performance

The Taishan V120 core first appeared in Huawei's Kirin 9000 smartphone SoC in 2020. Using the core in server CPUs will allow Huawei to achieve single-threaded performance that rivals AMD's last-generation EPYC Milan and Intel's older server Skylake. 

Multi-threaded benchmarks will be required to fully gauge the overall performance of the Kunpeng 930 when it launches. Huawei has continued to innovate its ARM-based server CPU designs despite facing restrictions on manufacturing and selling chips internationally due to its US listing in 2019. 

Develops domestic data center technology through its HiSilicon division. More details about the Kunpeng 930 server chip will be released later this year, along with server configurations from Chinese OEMs.
