ASUS Unveils Special Motherboard for Chinese-Made KX-7000 Processor, Boosts Performance by 25%
ASUS has recently announced a new motherboard designed specifically for the Chinese-made KX-7000 central processor. This new motherboard is said to enhance overclocking performance and increase processor performance by up to 25%.
According to a test conducted on the Bilibili website (the video has since been deleted), the ASUS motherboard paired with the Zhaoxin KX-7000 processor performed impressively in multiple performance tests, including Geekbench 6 and CPU-Z 2.08. In the CPU-Z single-core test, the KX-7000 scored 351 points and 2,654 points in the multi-core test. Comparatively, it was 20% slower in the single-core test than the Core i5-7500, but 43% faster in the multi-core test.
After overclocking, the KX-7000 saw a clock speed increase from 3.2 GHz to 3.6 GHz, resulting in a 21% boost in multi-core performance and a 10% increase in single-core performance. While the KX-7000 still falls short of surpassing Intel Core i5, i7, or Ryzen 7 processors in overall performance, it offers competitive single-core performance similar to the i5-7500.
Sources indicate that the ASUS motherboard for the KX-7000 features a simple design but boasts a power supply system comparable to entry-level H610/B660 motherboards. The motherboard includes two DIMM slots, one M.2 slot, two SATA 3 ports, two PCIe x16 Gen 4 slots, and one x1 Gen 4 slot.
Overall, the ASUS motherboard for the KX-7000 processor is expected to enhance performance and provide a competitive option for users seeking to maximize their processor’s capabilities.
