Recently， Zhaoxin， a leading domestic x86 processor enterprise， announced a significant breakthrough in the medical industry. Over 6，000 of their medical desktop computers have successfully secured a bid for a general PC procurement project at a major hospital!
In recent years， the healthcare industry has entered a practical phase of digital transformation. According to projections， by the end of 2025， the rate of upgrade and transformation for hospital core information systems is expected to increase significantly. Furthermore， the digital transformation in the medical sector demands not only high-performance underlying computing platforms but also “good usability” and “ease of use.”
The medical industry is characterized by significant ecosystem fragmentation. Taking databases as an example， foreign solutions like Oracle and SQL Server dominate over 80% of core systems such as Hospital Information Systems (HIS)， Laboratory Information Systems (LIS)， and Picture Archiving and Communication Systems (PACS). The penetration of domestic databases is less than 15%. Data migration faces challenges related to historical medical record format compatibility and stringent real-time requirements. Approximately 30% of existing systems and software in grassroots medical institutions， due to outdated architecture， are unable to be compatible with domestic operating systems or applications.
For instance， one provincial tertiary hospital has 40% of its legacy HIS systems built on a VB6 architecture， with the cost of transforming a single system reaching as high as 800，000 RMB.
In response to this， some provinces have begun piloting a “phased adaptation” strategy. This involves implementing “rescue adaptation” for imaging systems like PACS， while allowing a three-year transition period for relatively peripheral systems such as OA (Office Automation). This dynamic adjustment helps to alleviate ecosystem pressures.
Domestic x86 processors， with their ecosystem compatibility and excellent performance， are emerging as a mainstream market choice. Zhaoxin processors support the latest x86 instruction sets and have successfully self-developed and mass-produced six generations of high-performance general-purpose processors， including the “KaiXian” series of desktop processors and the “KaiSheng” series of server processors. Their terminal product forms cover AIPC， desktops， laptops， all-in-ones， servers， and embedded platforms. They support domestic operating systems such as Tongxin UOS， Kylin Linux， and ZhongkeFangde， as well as Windows.
Currently， Zhaoxin has achieved compatibility with the vast majority of application software， cloud platforms， databases， development environments， mainstream AI large models， and various mainstream expansion cards and peripheral products. This results in low software and application migration costs， making them widely adopted in critical sectors like government， finance， education， and healthcare.
Specifically for healthcare informatization， Zhaoxin has introduced platform strategies for “seamless migration” and “one-stop support.” Concurrently， Zhaoxin collaborates with its ecosystem partners， including establishing medical application innovation centers， to provide comprehensive selection guidance and support for medical institutions， covering chips， operating systems， and application software.
To date， Zhaoxin boasts nearly 4，000 system integration， software， and hardware ecosystem partners and has completed over 200，000 software and hardware adaptation and product optimization projects with leading domestic operating system vendors such as Kylin Software， Tongxin Software， and ZhongkeFangde.
This significant win， competing alongside Intel and AMD， fully demonstrates the advantages of domestic x86 processors in terms of performance， compatibility， and overall cost-effectiveness. Zhaoxin can effectively meet the multi-dimensional data storage and computation demands of the medical industry， ensuring the continuous and stable operation of critical applications like electronic medical record systems and telemedicine platforms. Moreover， its built-in security protection mechanisms can safeguard patient privacy data throughout its entire lifecycle.
