China’s Powerstar CPU Seemingly ‘Confirmed’ as Intel Silicon via Geekbench
The Chinese Powerstar P3-01105 CPU has arrived. geek bench v5 Online results browser. Importantly, this Socket 1200 LGA part has an A0653 (genuine Intel) CPUID and is purported to use the Intel Comet Lake architecture, so the system information section of the benchmark states that this 4C/8T chip is fully Intel It seems to support that it is made.
Earlier this month, we reported on the newly launched 1st Gen Powerstar P3-01105 CPU. China’s PowerLeader assembled the chip as its own product using the “Storm Core” architecture while maintaining x86 compatibility. However, there was already a fair amount of evidence pointing to the “Made in China” chip being his rebranded 4C/8T powered Intel Core i3-10105(F) Comet Lake CPU.
Previous evidence pointing to Powerstar/Intel Comet Lake similarities included:
- Physical lugged heat spreader design and other physical characteristics
- As far as we can see the physical board design is identical
- The IHS silkscreen printing format is the same
- The PowerLeader processor name is a bit confusing with Intel’s. Compare “10105” and “01105”.
- Both are marked as capable of a “3.70GHZ” base clock
- The QR code on the top right of the Powerstar P3-01105 PCB is said to match Intel’s.
of new The evidence from Geekbench is probably more than enough to convince most people of the origin of the Powerstar P3-01105 CPU. However, we still have to leave some questions open as the prankster just for fun he fiddles with things like the Geekbench system information report.
PowerLeader has an ambitious goal of selling 1.5 million Powerstar P3-01105 CPUs. The “storm cores” advertised at launch have no history, and even optimists would expect the actual “1st generation” product to have some glitches, so the CPU being a “Genuine Intel” part is this We believe that it will only help you achieve your goals.
Western PC enthusiasts and DIY enthusiasts may be looking to source the Powerstar P3-01105 CPU on a budget. However, PowerLeader’s launch suggests that the chip will only be supplied within a complete system. We’ll have to confirm that in the coming weeks or months.
Now that we’ve seen the Powerstar surface on Geekbench, we’ll probably just have to wait a few weeks until an enterprising Chinese YouTuber (or Bilibili er, or Weibo er) shares more details, tests and benchmarks for the P3. prize. -01105 CPU.
In some ways, PowerLeader’s rebadging of something as complex and American as the Intel CPU contrasts with recent announcements that Micron memory products have been banned from use by organizations associated with China’s critical information infrastructure. target.
