Notorious b.s.d. posted:

"infinity fabric" is the new interconnect. like hypertransport, except, AMD. if anyone sees something about "infinity fabric" pls post it here

its used in the current 8C chips- they're functionally 2 * 4C CCXs connected over that interconnect. thats what the graphs were showing, moving a thread between cores in the same CCX vs between the two CCXs thus hitting the fabric (although the graphs were trying to figure out which logical cores were the hyperthread ~threadripper~ cores, it just happens to show the actual physical CCX setup too)

what i'm interested in is how the 2 socket systems are gonna handle big gpgpu clusters; each socket has 128 pcie lanes, but in 2 socket setups, 64 are used to provide the fabric interconnect so there's still 128 lanes leaving the sockets for the rest of the system, half from each socket
