    Its on par with Gracemont and Skylake. And this is Efficient architecture, as Gracemont. Unfortunately VIA sold Centaur Technology to Intel in 2021.

    Zhaoxin Launches KX-7000 Desktop 8-Core x86 Processor to Power China's Ambitions

    It's more than 50%. It's also MMX, SSE, AVX, VT-x etc. VIA have been making x86-64 CPUs since 2011. So either some old agreement with AMD or cross-licensing conditions covers it as well. They could also implement it own way, like x86.

    Zhaoxin Launches KX-7000 Desktop 8-Core x86 Processor to Power China's Ambitions

    Because they weren't. Cyrix had own cross-licensing agreement with Intel. Cyrix "basic" implementation was completely home grown, so Intel lost all legal battles.

    Unlikely. But likely compatible with LGA1700 cooling mount. That's why they using same form factor. KH-40000/16 and /12 were looking very much like AM5 CPUs. Probably were compatible with AM5 cooling as well. It is probable that they using LGA1700 socket as well, as it's in open mass...
