Founded in 1997, Powerledaer specializes in the production of servers and PCs for industrial customers. The company is owned by Shenzhen Powerleader Investment Holding, which also owns PowerLeader Science & Technology Group Co., which is listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange. The Shenzhen manufacturer, which many experts after the premiere of the processor accused of demonstrating old Intel processors under its brand, finally said that the processor was indeed developed “with the support of Intel.”
According to Tom’s Hardware, citing May 26 Geekbench tests, the Powerstar P3-01105 is actually a clone of Intel’s Core i3-10105 Comet Lake. However, Powerstar itself claims that this is only about support, and the new processor is a “customized” product. Intel itself does not comment on the situation.
Powerstar stated on the Weibo social network that the Powerstar P3-01105 is mainly for commercial PC terminals and the company has not applied for municipal or state grants or subsidies. At the same time, at a presentation on May 6, Powerleader said that the Powerstar processor is designed on the x86 architecture and is suitable for “government, educational institutions, energy, industry, healthcare, games and retail.” The company also talked about the intention to sell 1.5 million copies annually.
After the premiere, Powerleader recalled the Hanxin processor fraud scandal in 2006, as a result of which the heads of several leading Chinese companies went to jail – the project has received funds from the Shanghai government since 2003.
However, on the Chinese social network Weibo, Powerleader states that the company will “stick firmly to the plan and … become a new force in the Chinese semiconductor industry”. The company promised “grow progressively and take cautious steps” instead of “burning money”. At the same time, it is emphasized that the company will “to stand on the shoulders of the giant Intel in order to reach an even higher level.”
