The 64-thread count points to two possible chip sources. Hygon's older C86-1G through C86-4G lines all offered 32-core, 64-thread designs built on licensed AMD Zen IP, while the newer C86-5G series uses a self-developed microarchitecture with four-way simultaneous multithreading, meaning a 16-core chip could also reach 64 threads. The C86-5G additionally supports AVX-512 instructions, which could benefit AI workloads.
