Chinese CPUs Now Work on Domestically-Produced Operating System

  Big deal - x86-64s running Linux regardless of what CPUs and OS are named. Both are sort-of continuations of VIA's Centaur stuff (and I'd be surprised if they weren't still involved at some level).

    Well, making x86-64s at 16nm is kind of a big deal. Very few places in the world can make those...

      That's true which is why (https://en.wikichip.org/wiki/zhaoxin/kaixian https://en.wikichip.org/wiki/zhaoxin/kaixian) they're apparently being fabbed by TSMC. :)

    The only officially released ones (4 years ago) were straight up rebadged VIA chips, a two letter name change. VIA Nano E-C4650 became "homegrown Chinese" ZX-C4650.
