Sockets/Platform

zhaoxin zx-200 chipset.png

All parts use a HFCBGA 37.5×37.5 mm package and are effectively a system on a chip. However, for the most part, those parts get paired with a chipset which serves as an I/O extension chip. The chipset communicates with the microprocessor over standard PCIe 3.0 x4 lanes.
