    Yup that’s always been the trade-off between speed and efficiency. In very basic terms, the closer transisters are together, the shorter...

    Why wouldn’t they? Silicon cost isn’t an issue for a ~70mm2 die and 2nm shouldn’t cost much more than N3P while offering bigger...

    Agreed, IPC won’t be the focus but I still expect above average single-core gains. Zen 4 was a very similar situation. Built on Zen 3’s...

    Note that starting with Zen5, the TSVs don't go on the CCD. The CCD is face down on top of the cache chiplet, so no holes need to be...

    Shouldn’t be a need. All of them will be using the same packaging this time, similar to whats in Strix Halo. That’s the only reason Halo...

  • Kronos1996 replied to the thread Discussion AMD SoC Halo series GPU discussion.

    That’s not how it works from what I understand. AMD’s semi-custom group will make anything you want for the right price. One question I...

    CCD? Probably two. - Zen 6 - Zen 6C IOD? Probably four. - Desktop - Server - Medusa (Laptop) - Medusa Halo There’s rumors of two...

    Look, does Adroc have the bedside manner of a Dingo in a Maternity Ward? Yes but he knows what he’s talking about (most of the time.)

  • Kronos1996 replied to the thread Discussion RDNA 5 / UDNA (CDNA Next) speculation.

    I mean Intel has separate GPU tiles on their mobile SoC’s now. Other issues aside, EMIB seems quite affordable now that it’s at volume...

    I understand they gotta prioritize server but abandoning chiplet consumer GPU’s may be foolish. I assumed the plan was to share GPU...

    Poor bastards. Unfortunately, consumer and server GPU’s have diverged to the point where they have little in common. Sharing dies...
