AMD has 'leapfrogging' Zen designs teams. The Zen team and the Zen 2 team started at the same time. It's easily possible Zen 2 was started based on Zen and then switched two years on to an uncore design, likely already in early design for Zen 4, to double the dies AMD could get from a 7nm wafer...

Not the monster you expected, much more monstrous
If AMD stuck with it’s 2016 roadmaps, it would be in for a big fight with Intel next year. The roadmaps SemiAccurate and Fudzilla reported back then were not followed and the server market is...
I actually read your post. Once again someone pooh pooh my conclusions while not addressing the particulars any of the points.
Right, because AMD has no interest in the server market and so a 4 core CCX is fine for the time being.
I covered in exhaustive detail how and why AMD would go with...
On the other hand the server version of that part currently sells for $9,000+ vs the 2990X for $1800. Coming on a brand new socket platform Intel has to match cost/performance to get any traction. Going to be a helluva lot of very upset Xeon Platinum 8176 buyers out there.
There are numerous reports from normally reliable sources. It won't be long before someone working on an actual sample leaks detailed info. And it's utterly logical AMD went that route.
Hence all the rumors and logic of Zen 2 being changes to an uncore+chiplet architecture to take advantage of Intel's 10nm redacted.
It DOUBLES the number of 7nm core dies that can be produced. Add sourcing from two foundries and there will be enough dies to allow a 25% server market share in...
Do you even READ Intel negative posts???
AMD has a KILLER roadmap for the next five years. Intel has a keystone kops roadmap for the next five years. Intel CHANGEs their roadmap every two months. That instill confidence in Intel's future.
You're right, I was wrong. I've changed the post. Thanks.
That said, I consider that roadmap to be blue sky. Intel is a lot further behind than the roadmap indicates. Not that Intel would try and mislead investors ... o_O
You do realize 18 months ago ALL intel architectures in development were monolithic?
It takes years to properly develop a new architecture. That's not what Intel will be doing though, they'll be frankensteining together pieces of monolithic architectures with existing fabrics designed for other...
