China’s Cixin Technology is unveiling its Cixin P1 CPU, the country’s first domestic 6nm processor to serve the “AI PC” market.
According to information released by the company, the chip is produced using Arm architecture – similar to Qualcomm’s Snapdragon X Elite – and uses twelve cores, eight of which are performance cores and four are efficiency cores. Its maximum frequency is 3.2 GHz.
Like the AMD Ryzen 300 and Intel Lunar Lake, the Cixin P1 CPU also features a 45 TOPS NPU. Its purpose is to be used in so-called “AI PCs”, such as the Copilot+ launched by Microsoft and several other systems that are currently in development.
Cixin Technology claims the processor supports up to 64GB LPDDR5-6400 and 4K displays with up to 120fps. The chip supports both PCIe 4.0 and USB Type-C interfaces – bringing with it the complete package for widespread adoption across the industry.

The Cixin P1 CPU enters the fray
Despite revealing a large part of the specifications of the Cixin P1 CPU, its manufacturer did not release any hardware benchmarks – which does not provide conclusions about how its performance compares to other mainstream processors – such as AMD, Qualcomm and Intel.
However, it is already possible to notice that in terms of specifications it is very close to those released by other manufacturers – showing the strength that China has in taking seriously the artificial intelligence market that has been formed since 2023.
Considering that “AI PCs” are the next step in the market, the Cixin P1 CPU is positioned within a major competition to provide the market with hardware that meets its demands. If we consider that until recently the Chinese presence in this competition was not even considered, it is possible that more advances will be presented.
Cixin Technology did not disclose a launch date for its new processor or whether it has commercial partners that will adopt the hardware in their systems. More information is expected to be revealed at a later date.
