in reality its below 2013 Haswell performance clock for clock (as seen in CINEBENCH vs 2.3GHz i7 4850HQ), except it tops out at 2.5GHz while anyone can buy $30 Xeon E3-1231 v3 @ 3.40GHz. No wonder it got aborted in the west and relegated to pretending being homegrown Chinese Zhaoxin CPU. At least Chinese actually got a backup plan in case of full embargo after Taiwan invasion, something Russia can only dream of right now.
