Modern China is decisively reforming the education system at all levels from primary school education to higher academic education. For example, the introduction of gadgets in schools in the form of PDAs for diaries and homework monitoring began more than a decade ago. The same applies to equipment for classes and audiences in the form of interactive whiteboards and other tools that facilitate the assimilation of educational materials. And if earlier the same interactive whiteboards used a foreign element base (can you imagine how many schools there are in China?), now local manufacturers have everything they need to localize the release of these products using domestic components and, first of all, x86-compatible processors .
For example, at the just-completed 77th China Educational Equipment Exhibition, Seewo's localized interactive smart tablet (whiteboard). Until recently, Seewo interactive whiteboards used Intel Core i processors. The insert showed hardware based on Zhaoxin's new 16nm generation KX-6000 processor. Bulk deliveries of 4- and 8-core KX-6000 models in July of this year. According to the manufacturer's internal tests, the 8-core KX-6000 model with a clock speed of 3 GHz is not inferior in performance to Intel Core i5 processors. The Chinese will not be able to compete with Intel in the release of the most productive solutions for a long time, but they may well occupy the lower and even the middle niche. There remains dependence on Taiwan as the manufacturer of the most advanced processors for China, but this will also be overcome in the near future.
In conclusion, we recall that the KX-6000 processors are single-chip circuits with an integrated graphics core and a set of I / O controllers, including a dual-channel DDR4-3200 memory controller. It supports both Windows and local operating systems. A special achievement in creating an interactive platform on the KX-6000 is the reduction in response time from 155 ms to 48 ms. From the standpoint of handwriting on an interactive whiteboard, this makes sense. The playback delay becomes imperceptible, which improves the perception of information. Zhaoxin's press release did not specify which interactive whiteboard models will use the KX-6000 processors.
