It's just AMD being cautious and not trying to bite off more than they can chew. The X3D is supposed to be the special SKU of this generation. The competition by the end of the year will be super interesting to watch and unless Intel manages some miracle, this will be AMD's year.Regarding scaling better with additional power, granted , it scales where zen4 stopped to scale. The scaling is still rather insignificant, its not like gain additional 50 percent of perf going from 160W to 230. Its maybe 10~15 percent and while thats more than almost nothing before, its still not something extremely impressive, that would take zen5 out of sight of Zen4/RPL perf-wise. And thats really the most important thing imo.
Yes, you are completely wrong ;-) and it is precisely because bigger CCDs would not fit under the IHS. And by that I refer to 1 sIOD + up to 16 CCDs having to fit under Turin's IHS. Granite Ridge's IHS would certainly have room for a little bigger CCDs still. (Although maybe Granite Ridge and Turin might receive CCDs at differing steppings, I presume that the design is the same, just like it was shared between desktop and server in Zen1...Zen4.)IMO the one reason why the CCDs are the same size as Zen4 and only transistor count increase comes from the newer denser process, is cause AMD dont thinks they can sell more expensive than Z4 and wont be giving any additional performance increase for “free” - as in potentially bigger CCDs could have been even faster, but AMD would expect to be paid for every additional mm2, and people would not be willing to pay….
Or i am completely wrong and its the same size cause any bigger would not fit under IHS![]()
Probably high performance mode. That laptop also has high TDP so your typical business laptop is not going to be anywhere close.Finally the GB6 run with Strix boosting properly and it breaks the 2.9k score for the first time.

The same laptop wouldn't boost to 5.1 consistently with the power plan set to performance earlier.Probably high performance mode. That laptop also has high TDP so your typical business laptop is not going to be anywhere close.
EDIT: Well, power plan was indeed set to performance.
This should be the final score. David Huang got exactly 3k for the 5.0GHz SKU at Linux. Linux typically has 5% advantage, so it adds up exactly. Also the newest Lunar Lake result has basically exactly the same per clock performance.Finally the GB6 run with Strix boosting properly and it breaks the 2.9k score for the first time.
I don't see any gaming numbers in your message.
CapFrameX is on the same level as userbenchmark with regards to AMD. Best to ignore both unless you want to read something really wrong and misleading.
Speaking of UB. What will the poor chap do when zen5 hits and is faster in every single of his tests ? xD Will he sort the CPU's by his ranking this time ? xDQuick search seems to suggest that yes, they are Userbenchmark-lite, if you will.
That's probably it for the LPDDR5 devices, yes.This should be the final score. David Huang got exactly 3k for the 5.0GHz SKU at Linux. Linux typically has 5% advantage, so it adds up exactly. Also the newest Lunar Lake result has basically exactly the same per clock performance.
Well then its settled, did not consider Turin for sure, thx for correcting me.Yes, you are completely wrong ;-) and it is precisely because bigger CCDs would not fit under the IHS. And by that I refer to 1 sIOD + up to 16 CCDs having to fit under Turin's IHS. Granite Ridge's IHS would certainly have room for a little bigger CCDs still. (Although maybe Granite Ridge and Turin might receive CCDs at differing steppings, I presume that the design is the same, just like it was shared between desktop and server in Zen1...Zen4.)
BTW, it has been speculated here that the density increase of Granite Ridge's CCD vs. Raphael's is not only thanks to the process bump, but also due to denser L3$ by means of tweaks which are not yet clear.
Apropos, is it just me failing to find the info, or is it true that AMD still haven't said a single word about how Strix Point is divided into core complexes?[...] despite only 24MB L3 cache.

IIRC I saw a core to core latency graph that showed latency behavior implicating it's a 4 Zen5 CCX and an 8 Zen5c CCX. The latency from the Zen 5 to Zen 5c cores was very high.Sure, but it's not from ---> AMD <--- themselves, is it.
Why did AMD decide to divide the 24MB cache into two slices? Wouldn't there be some penalty by using such design?
It would be because they are two different CCXs most likely... IMO. 4x Zen5 + 16MB, 8x Zen 5c + 8MB.Why did AMD decide to divide the 24MB cache into two slices? Wouldn't there be some penalty by using such design?
So Infinity fabric for inter-CCX communication just like Zen 2?It would be because they are two different CCXs most likely... IMO. 4x Zen5 + 16MB, 8x Zen 5c + 8MB.
Scores are pretty much within margin of error regardless though.The same laptop wouldn't boost to 5.1 consistently with the power plan set to performance earlier.
...and main memory accesses.Infinity fabric for inter-CCX communication just like Zen 2?
Closer to CES 2027 according to rumors.
Regarding CapframeX's not so cryptic tweet. I can believe it. The main reason I believe why is the same IOD & memory limitations of Zen 4. When looking at Zen 4 memory scaling testing for games, 4800 to 6000 shows a real, tangible difference due to the increase being in the same 1:1 ratio. Increases from 6000 1:2 to 8000 1:2 are either very small, or nothing at all. When you look at Intel scaling, they seem to achieve that same boost that AMD gets from 4800 to 6000 all the way to 8000+. No matter how good the core, its going to be limited in this regard. Until AMD improve mem controller and subsystem, the will always be behind the 8 ball in this regard.
CopeChaser for real.Gaming numbers don't seem to be good
It is interesting that Granite Ridges scores noticeably higher than Strix in ST tests per GHz. ~3400pts @ 5.7Ghz ( 596pts/Ghz) Vs ~2900pts @ 5.1Ghz ( 568pts/Ghz) -> that is ~5% IPC difference between two Zen 5 implementations.Scores are pretty much within margin of error regardless though.
