Still has room for another chiplet but yeah only 8 cores at launch apparently? I say only but that's still fantastic for my needs.

their substrate photo clearly shows room for a second chiplet = 16 cores total

Probably saving the 16 cores for the 4xxx generation.

There's no reason to put the chiplet weirdly off center unless they're going to have models with 2 chiplets.

yeah, you can even see the empty traces on the substrate. really weird to have the cpu chiplet — presumably the main source of heat dissipation — way off in a corner like that.

This would be AM4+/AM5 so it wouldn't be socket compatible.

Isn't AM4 forward-compatible through 2020? Or whatever that lawyered wording of the promise meant.

DDR5 is planned for 2020, which is the line in the sand between AM4 and the new socket.

Looking at the pics I'd say they could fit 3 chiplets = 24C/48T on that package if they switch the IO chip at 7nm, though I highly doubt they will.

only a preview but yeah, showed preproduction 8C Zen 2 matching 9900k cinebench performance at ~30% lower system power. mid 2019

e: TSMC 7nm yields must be excellent since they only show the single chiplet variant as 8C

She talked about it at the very end. Gave no speeds or prices, only a benchmark comparison a 8-core zen 2 vs a stock i9. Which the zen was just a slight bt faster while using 30% (was it 30?) less power. Everything was in that article.

I'm thinking about this and can't make up my mind whether it'll be a real difference in practice.

the one thing I can come up with is that coolers with direct heatpipe contact may be less advantageous, because only a few of the pipes will be over the chiplet. they tend to have little gaps between pipes which would make side-to-side conduction less effective. so instead of the two middle pipes doing the bulk of the work and the side ones helping, it'll be the two side ones doing work, a middle one helping, and the far one not doing much.

if the two-chiplet thing happens, then heatsink orientation with air coolers could actually make a difference

Maybe the chiplet & IO unit positioning is related to the AM4 socket layout?

It's impressive they make such dramatic changes without forcing a new motherboard on users. That's something I've always liked about AMD.

They want to do a 2 chiplet AM4 consumer CPU. Whether they will, or whether they got it to work technically, is another topic entirely.

I'm optimistic. Also, 2000+ cinebench at the power usage shown is great. For comparison, 2700x scores 1800 and the 1800x scores 1600. It's a big improvement and goes toe to toe with intel's flagship.

If they do have 2 chiplet AM4 CPUs it's going to be nuts.

12C CPU with two chiplets with 6 functioning cores each. Probably that.

If that Zen 2 performance is at same (or lower) clocks than the 9900K, that sure would want me to upgrade my TR. Will be interesting to see how that IO die will affect memory latencies on the non-TR Ryzens.

Is it basically a forgone conclusion that both the Xbox and Playstation platforms will be sticking with an AMD based x86 platform with AMD graphics for the time being? Seems like a win all around, but just curious.

I think AMD (rightfully) fears high end ryzen cannibalizing low end threadripper sales if they pack too many cores in. Most consumers don't know/don't care that the better binned silicon is going into threadripper. Features like quad channel memory extra I/O is irrelevant for people who only need MOAR CORES.

Yeah too many reasons to stay with them, mostly relationship, price and backward/forward compatibility. Nvidia had their go with the original Xbox and they basically tried to rip Microsoft off.

The only other option would be ARM. As long as AMD is willing to license their stuff for the console makers to produce it themselves, and Intel & nvidia are not, it's gonna be AMD.

To do a console you have to have a licensed design so you can go get it produced yourself for the cheapest costs, and keep reducing those costs over the years. Buying chips on contract is putting yourself in a position to be taken advantage of.

I don't really see it, those who need MOAR CORES are going to be on the threadripper platform anyways for, well, MOAR CORES and AMD gets a halo product for the mainstream platform.

His GPU leaks were in reference to Navi which only got a small mention at the end of the presentation. They could still be accurate, just not launching until the end of the year.

That and the entire point of TR systems is to get a shitload of memory bandwidth for scientific calcs, there aren't too many things you can do that will hammer the poo poo out of the cores but leave the memory system unmolested, except for prime95 or whatever.

This seems weird to me. I haven't owned a console since the Super Nintendo, so excuse what may be a dumb question, but...doesn't this mean that the two base systems will be fairly similar to one another? If so, the only substantive differentiations will the online ecosystems and any locked-up exclusives?
