It looks like Centaur as such has very little left to offer except as a research and educational platform. They sold a design (Isaiah core) to a Chinese company so they can manufacture a very low performance x86 CPU as an alternative to Intel/AMD in case the US ever bans exporting this to China.
But there's certainly nothing new coming out of Centaur or Zhaoxin except the rehashed versions of the CPU above. And that may not be enough for either since now China also has access to AMD's Zen core [0].
