Much of the Zen5's surface area increase is dedicated to the AVX512.

Yes, most structures (buffers) are larger, but Zen5 has more advanced control logic. Buffers alone aren't everything. The x86 design...

Exactly. I'll reiterate that 95-99% of people have no idea about IPC, let alone micro-architectures. For me, Apple's MX is just a...

ARM is not a competitor to x86. Apple's ARM market share in PCs and HPC is marginal, and x86 has a huge software base and backward...

Didn't ARM64 require recompiling the software from ARM32? Secondly, does ARM have as powerful FP and INT SIMD 512 as Zen5?

First, ARM has instructions with a fixed length of 4 bytes. x86 has variable-length instructions from 1 to 15 bytes, translated by the...

So you're suggesting that design + testing + silicon implementation + validation will only take 6 months? The project was carried out...

Yes? And what about the recent increase in IPC? You mean the move from M3 to M4 and the average IPC increase for INT +8% and FP +9%...

Area and power are the main drivers for expanding Zen cores. But it's also about project time, so as not to overdo it.

Zen lived up to expectations. Agner Fog demonstrated that Zen5 executes 6 instructions per clock cycle (rarely 8). The main goal of Zen5...
