Question Zen 6 Speculation Thread

[adroc_thurston]

Magnus reportedly has 3x Zen6 + 8x Zen6c

That's extra poverty sitting near the 12c CCD.
Tiny LLC. No N2. Horrible main mem setup. Just not cutting it for true scotsman client.

This isn't poverty CPU in any dimension, especially if paired with 192bit GDDR7

GDDR7 is absolutely the last memory you'd like to be sitting near a CPU.

But great for gaming.

 

[adroc_thurston]

But great for gaming.

For GPU, yea.
If you're CPU-limited, tough luck.

 

[ToTTenTranz]

But great for gaming.

Especially if you're a company with a vested interest in gaming. Like AMD.

I wonder if they mentioned gaming™ roadmaps at FAD 2025.
Lemme think

Whoops. None exist. Too bad!

That's horse shit and you know it. I don't know anyone who laughed at big.LITTLE. Troll outside of an AMD thread.

I see ridiculing or name-calling big.LITTLE plenty, when I go to places with people that are not as discerning and enlightened in their AMD turbofannery as me.
Including really forced childish namecalling, heavy vulgarisms besides the obvious opinions that E-Core are never useful, only do harm, are crap etc.

 

[gdansk]

"E" cores on desktop parts are nigh useless crap. The benefits have so far been completely unworth the complexity.

That's different than what ARM was doing. Genuinely different power levels, huge area differences, in a market where low power idle actually matters. Still today it is different.

sexooooooooooooooooooo

Another beautiful chip, though I tune-in and hear a techbro brag about AI hallucinating health advice. God, what a nightmare.

The guy makes me feel like doing a murdersuicide.
Majestic chips in service of the dumbest product/business model ever.

Those 32c CCDs are no joke.

i just like 2.5D slabs

i just like 2.5D slabs

And such a lovely fat slab it is. Crapload more compute silicon than Turin.

 

[adroc_thurston]

this keynote feels like an mkultra program aimed at driving specifically me insane

really AMD sees such profit opportunity in having 4p+8c rammed literally everywhere in 5 product families instead of classic 12 full cores ccd?

is profit the answer?

One might ask a slightly different question :
« …. instead of 8 classic full cores »
See ? 12 vs 8 ?

 

[techjunkie123]

Any estimates for CCD size/Z6C core size from the shots??

 

[branch_suggestion]

Any estimates for CCD size/Z6C core size from the shots??

Over double the size of a typical CCD.
Those IODs are not small.

 

[Kepler_L2]

Any estimates for CCD size/Z6C core size from the shots??

160mm² IIRC

 

[burninatortech4]

Is that IOD composed of two pieces? Looks extremely wide.

I read it was IODx2

they're halves.

Undoubtedly the worst AMD keynote maybe ever; zero product.

all 3 vendors Intel, Nvidia and AMD were pretty much the same this year around.
