I recently made a review about the Zhaoxin KX-5000 series and from its IGP.
https://www.publish0x.com/geri/zhaoxin-kx-5000-test-xrxgkxz
What i haven't included in the test, is my usual OpenGL draw call benchmark, which i have used to benchmark various cards earlyer ( https://www.gamedev.net/forums/topic/713344-opengl-draw-call-test/ in this topic, the numbers can be found, but now the thread is locked due to old age, so i had to create this one ).
The results are here:

The DX11 performance of the Zhaoxin KX-5000 IGP is surprisingly decent, but the OpenGL driver nose dives more than it should, if draw calls with small polygon count are being shoveled into it.
For example, when rendering small polygon count objects, even the Riva TNT 1 performs better than the Zhaoxin. At least a couple hunreds of polygons has to be rendered by each draw call to have the GPU in motion.
