Phytium presents D2000 ARM-based octa-core desktop CPU for the Chinese market
The new Phytium D2000 processors use the same custom 64-bit ARMv8-compatible FTC663 cores integrated in last year's FeiTeng-2000/4 model, except now there are 4x 2-core clusters instead of 2. Each of these clusters shares a unified 2 MB L2 cache and 1 MB L3 cache (8 MB of L2 cache and 4 MB L3 cache in total). This architecture features a four-issue out-of-order pipeline combined with Phytium's latest dynamic branch predictor and INT / FP units supporting ARM's ASIMD instructions. There is also support for SM2 / SM3 / SM4 / SM9 cryptography algorithms and the proprietary PSPA 1.0 security platform.
As far as hardware specs go, the D2000 is not really a match for the latest Intel and AMD chips, as it is built on China's own 14 nm nodes. Still, it features all the standard features you would expect from an entry-level CPU, including 128-bit DDR4-3200 / LPDDR4 RAM support, 34 PCIe 3.0 lanes that can be split into four PCIe 3.0 x8 slots and two PCIe 3.0 x1 slots, plus 2x GbE NiCs, 32 GPIO lanes, and an integrated audio codec. There is no iGPU, however. Core clock speeds will be set between 2.3 - 2.6 GHz, with a 25 W TDP, and the processor scores 97.45 points in the SPECint test.
Phytium is currently rolling out the D2000 chips to Chinese PC OEMs, and the first systems featuring the new processors are expected to hit the market in late Q1 2021.

It seems I made a mistake disparaging you, China. It now appears that, thanks to a few of your White-but-beady-eyed and hooknosed friends entrenched in America, yours is the world's future and I see that you have cities tailored to Westerners [whenonearth.net]. Although you and I weren't always in agreement, I will note that I am on the record here posting that America should "just give Taiwan to the Chinks (that's you!)."
If we could agree to forgo the re-education and behavior modification aspects of Chinese citizenship, I hereby promise in exchange to always toe your party line and endorse your enslavement of the Uyghur people just as the Jewish within America are attempting to enslave non-Jewish Americans. I know a lot about technology and I can improve your industrial processes so that your shit isn't always collapsing and exploding, and could provide useful translation and English instruction services as needed. I'd like to add that I graduated from an American computer science program administered by your fine Confucius Institute and so would make an excellent drop-in worker insect to suit your needs.
Note: Offer void should Americans liberate America before Jan. 20.
