The x86 CPU Maker You’ve Never Heard Of…

Ever heard of Intel? AMD? Of course you have! Those are your two options for CPUs, at least x86 CPUs anyway, and they are everywhere. They are in every gaming rig and office PC the world over. But what if I told you there’s actually a THIRD x86 CPU maker? Considering how fierce the litigation between Intel and AMD had to get before they finally created a patent cross licensing agreement - full video on that in the cards above by the way - you’d be forgiven for not believing anyone else in the entire world would be allowed to make x86 CPUs, and yet, there is. The company is called Zhaoxin, a Chinese maker of x86 CPUs. This is the fascinating history of China’s top CPU maker.
