LLightningZ71 replied to the thread Discussion Intel Meteor, Arrow, Lunar & Panther Lakes Discussion Threads.It very much depends on the code. Completely homogenous tasks will typically run into contention issues as the code streams will fight...

LLightningZ71 replied to the thread Discussion Zen 5 Speculation (EPYC Turin and Strix Point/Granite Ridge - Ryzen 9000).It is though. The Z2E is STP minus a couple of cores. AMD isn't above making specific gaming SKUs. They already have a packaging...

LLightningZ71 replied to the thread Discussion Intel Meteor, Arrow, Lunar & Panther Lakes Discussion Threads.The x factor is the cost of the stacking process, the good dies that they lose in the process, the extra packaging and movement time...

LLightningZ71 replied to the thread Question Zen 6 Speculation Thread.Controller, not fabric. Intel pooped the bed post Raptor... They really are no better than AMD's current products in fabric.

LLightningZ71 replied to the thread Discussion Zen 5 Speculation (EPYC Turin and Strix Point/Granite Ridge - Ryzen 9000).I'm not so sure about that. STP is not heavily memory bound at 20w on mobile with good LPDDR5 ram, and it takes a lot of power to light...

LLightningZ71 replied to the thread Question Zen 6 Speculation Thread.It's also a niche where AMD is continuing to get better with each generation. The cache die should be on an improved process for Zen6...

LLightningZ71 replied to the thread Discussion Intel Nova Lake in H2-2026: Discussion Threads.It could get dicey where some MT loads will suffer from having to communicate from one CCD to the other, and some loads will appreciate...

LLightningZ71 replied to the thread Discussion Intel Meteor, Arrow, Lunar & Panther Lakes Discussion Threads.The rumor that I've seen for the BLCC die is that they just duplicated the area in the middle of the die where all the L3 already was...

LLightningZ71 replied to the thread Question Zen 6 Speculation Thread.That sounds suspiciously like someone stubbed their toe again on their P core design... Perhaps a very underwhelming benchmark is now...

LLightningZ71 replied to the thread Discussion Intel Nova Lake in H2-2026: Discussion Threads.I'd imagine that the non BLCC is the 2 X (4+8) tile and the BLCC is the 8+16+blcc tile.

LLightningZ71 replied to the thread Discussion Intel’s Unified Core: There is hope.On a very basic level, yes. N3B is a best-effort scaling node. N3E is a "What can we do to N3B to make it perform at least as well as...

LLightningZ71 replied to the thread Discussion Intel’s Unified Core: There is hope.Most of the density difference between the two nodes is SRAM related. N3E relaxed SRAM density as compared to N3B to the point that it...

LLightningZ71 replied to the thread Discussion Intel Meteor, Arrow, Lunar & Panther Lakes Discussion Threads.Personally, I blame Noyce and Moore. Intel wouldn't exist without them, and by not existing, they wouldn't have made the mistakes that...

LLightningZ71 replied to the thread Discussion Ryzen 9000X3D series review thread.I see it as a way to elevate computer performance another notch. If we're looking to move some RAM closer to the CPU in the interest of...

LLightningZ71 replied to the thread Discussion Intel Nova Lake in H2-2026: Discussion Threads.Look, just an N6 respin of the CCDs in a 5950XTR edition with a 300Mhz boost in all core would be amazing for the socket...
