'''Zhaoxin''' ('''Shanghai Zhaoxin Semiconductor Co., Ltd.''', also goes by '''VIA Alliance Semiconductor Co., Ltd.''') is [[Chinese]] fabless semiconductor company jointly owned by [[VIA Technologies]] and the Shanghai Municipal Government. The name "Zhaoxin" is the romanisation of the Chinese name 兆芯 Zhàoxīn, which actually translate to "TrillionCore" or perhaps more appropriately "MegaCore". Being a partial join venture of [[VIA Technologies]], Zhaoxin [[x86]] [[ISA]] license is most likely covered by VIA as part of their cross-license agreement for x86 with [[Intel]].

Zhaoxin was founded in April of 2013 through a joint collaboration between Shanghai Alliance Investment Ltd. (a venture capital firm of the Shanghai Municipal Government) and [[VIA Technologies]]. The joint venture started with a $250 million investment with the 80.1% ($200M) from the Shanghai Alliance and 19.9% ($49.75M) from VIA. It's unclear how much access Zhaoxin has to [[Centaur Technology]]'s design team along with VIA's patent portfolio and intellectual property, but it does appear Zhaoxin has at least access to [[Centaur Technology]] {{centtech|CN|l=arch}} [[x86]] microarchitecture as a starting point.
