China still have ways to go, but this show that they seems to make at least some progress. I wonder how long it will be until western benchmarker start doing test on it, would be interesting to see!

Tomshardware mentioned that the IPC match Intel 14600k, however it seems to be heavily constrain by only having 4 core and relatively low clock speed.
So their attitude towards serious cpu development seems entirely nailing the uArch rather than rapid deployment towards mass enterprise adoption. Sure some super sensitive state and military machines that don't need to be fast will likely use it, as Russians use Elbrus.. but it seems money is last of their concerns.
Make sense as they likely have piles somewhat recent of Epyc and Xeon chips for their data centres till that tap goes off.
