Weird x86 chip is actually AMD-derived.

These Zen-esque chips have come up before, though it sounds like this might be the first time they've been used in a marketed product. A couple other companies born out of the remnants of Centaur also seemed to have borrowed architectural notes from the early Zen CPUs, potentially as a result of their competitors like Hygon making that deal with AMD almost 10 years ago. It's the first time one seems to be almost a boilerplate 1700x though.
