A dual 16-core Hygon CPU server rack tested in Geekbench AI performed poorly, barely surpassing Intel's nearly decade-old quad-core Core i7-6700HQ. The Hygon CPUs, based on the outdated AMD Zen architecture, scored significantly lower than modern CPUs like the AMD Ryzen 5 7600X. U.S. sanctions prevent Hygon from using newer architectures, limiting its competitiveness and forcing reliance on additional cores for multi-core performance improvements, not addressing single-core performance issues.
