Honestly Kraken feels more like an heir to the 5600/5700g than a PHX heir.So peasants get only half the GPU of the nobles' Strix Point!
Yeah, an ideal Steam Deck 2 SoC would be four Zen5c with 12 RDNA4 CUs that also clock higher than Van Gogh. May need to wait for faster memory to be more mainstream though.Van Gogh is already 8 CU though, so it would have to be a major clock boost which is unlikely to come economically to power.
The Deck has been popular enough to warrant another semi custom chip.
We might just see a 12 CU RDNA4 design.
Wouldn't the Deck 2 iGPU be CPU limited with just four threads? Z1 Extreme has 16 threads. I mean, it could work for games custom made for the Deck 2 but typical modern games may not work great with just 4 threads.Yeah, an ideal Steam Deck 2 SoC would be four Zen5c

I wonder what kind of power envelope we should expect for Strix Halo.
16 Zen 5 cores and ~20 WGPs?
If N48 alone is 30 WGPs and runs around 215W, that's at least a 150W envelope even if you clock somewhat low.
I thought Halo has 120W TDP? If it behaves like other Laptop CPUs this is more of a lower baseline, with more like open end power draw available for OEMs.clocked lower STH shouldnt be above 100W including the CPU drive.

120 - 125W for the top SKU with the GPU clocking at 3GHz.I recall the leaked TDP for Strix Halo was 125W?
Nothing I said contradicts anything else I've said. Just because the dice that make it to desktop are "second rate" doesn't make them bad. They just don't test as well for EPYC. That's it. And you know this is true, and has been true for every generation of Zen except Pinnacle Ridge.That contradict your saying that X3D chips are second rate, the first manufactured dies are not forcible the most performing frequency wise, beside they launched servers parts first because that s a much more profitable market.
So, no new leaks today? I need my daily dosage of hype!
How do you know he knows that?And you know this is true, and has been true for every generation of Zen except Pinnacle Ridge.
Well, two "sources" just told me that Zen 5 is actually 10% faster than Zen 6!

He's been reading the same forum posts as the rest of us since 2017 (and before then too), that's how.How do you know he knows that?
9600G 13% better CB R23 ST than 8600G. Seems a bit underwhelming.
12C R9 9850S vs 12C R9 9800g 50% difference in CB nT?
Remember when the Stilts got mad and quit?He's been reading the same forum posts as the rest of us since 2017 (and before then too), that's how.
Remember how Intel said AMD was being ridiculous for that, and then said exactly the same thing for Zen MCM and Zen 2 chiplets?Remember when AMD said Intel was using glue for Core 2 Duo?
