What we need to have sixteen cores and high bandwidth memory lanes today is web browsing. I find that desktop software (even with pixel based rendering) tend to work fine on computers which were low end ten years ago. This one may have been announced because Dannie already had a motherboard for it. The KX-6640MA by the way is one of Zhaoxin's slower low end chips, and they have faster ones. This means the KX-6640MA may be seen as just an interim solution. Several years ago Russia announced a plan to move all government operations off of American IT kit onto RISC-V by 2025, I assume using Linux. The most likely reason to want to use the KX-6640MA under these circumstances is to run Windows desktops. It was adequate for everything except full screen video, and I suspect the latter was due to the GPU limitations. I used a Raspberry Pi 4 as a desktop PC for a day when my regular desktop was broken. You may not want to use it for playing games however. While I take synthetic benchmarks with a very large grain of salt, if we accept the above numbers as valid then it should be just fine for doing office work and the like provided the GPU is reasonable. So the KX-6640MA is roughly twice as fast. The same site that The Register chose to cite for CPU benchmarks also benchmarks the CPU used in the Raspberry Pi 4, the BCM2711.įor the KX-6640MA the "Average CPU Mark" is 1,566. Below is an interesting perspective on the Russian import situation from Branko Milanovic who spends a lot of time thinking about this kind of stuff. Should be enough to keep the bureaucrats going. But its slow nature underlines the issues Russia has created for itself by committing atrocities against a neighboring country." "Habr said the KX-6640MA should still be suitable for a "wide range of office tasks," and at least the processor will be compatible with x86-based software. Why am I buying a bag of onions for £1 in Tesco from Egypt? How is that even viable for farmers in the from OA In fact, sitting here in the UK, I'm inclined to suggest reinvestment in market gardens in the green belt around cities as we had in the 60s. "looking at the worldwide shortages it seems like the best option for all counties in the future is to make their own versions of some common components"
