The Cixin P1 is based on an Arm architecture similar to Qualcomm’s Snapdragon X Elite processors. The chip is manufactured using a 6-nm process technology and contains 12 processor cores (eight high-performance and four energy-efficient) with a maximum frequency of up to 3.2 GHz.
Key features of Cixin P1 processor:
The characteristics of the chip look quite competitive compared to solutions from other companies, at least “on paper”, but there are no test results for this processor yet. The manufacturer only claims that the new product provides excellent performance, is compatible with an extensive software stack, copes well with AI tasks, and will provide laptops with high autonomy.
