There is likely some whitelist of processors or families.

Can we see a comparison of it against an Alder Lake -N?

Actually N305 outperforms 1700X in single thread. Multi thread is axed by TDP.

Indeed, funny story Alder Lake -N without the TDP issue, could be really strong.

The IPC Bulldozer is absolute nonsense. But for Zhaoxin, in the MAGA world, even negative publicity is just publicity.

CPU-Z
AMD FX-8350 4.0GHz @ 4.2GHz Turbo 8-core processor: 242 / 1 566 (68,75% / 55,36%)
Zhaoxin KX-7000 3.0GHz 3.5GHz Turbo 8-core processor: 352 / 2 829 (+45,45% / +80,65%)

Cinebench R23
• AMD FX-8350 4.0GHz @ 4.2GHz Turbo 8-core processor: 579 / 3803 (85,15% / 76,20%)
• Zhaoxin KX-7000 3.0GHz @ 3.5GHz Turbo 8-core processor: 680 / 4 991 (+17,44% / +31,24%)

etc.

The chip is rather simplistic and got a horrible memory access latency. Its firmware might be bugged or it simply does well only in fit-to-cache benches.

How did they conclude it's more efficient than Intel/AMD CPUs?

What's up with that awful memory read performance?

And again... the same issue, iGPU is trash. Zhaoxin needs to go with AMD or nVIDIA in the GPU department to fully shine.

Give them a decade more. They'll be great as emulation machines for Windows XP and Windows 7 compatible software. They should put all their efforts behind making ReactOS and Wine work better with their hardware.
