- rfoo 5y agoRyzen chips are more of less, SoC.
- DiabloD3 5y agoAMD internally refers to the finished product as the SoC, and the chipset (no longer a northbridge, the NB is on die) as a socket extender (a term also used by most SoC vendors) in internal documentation. Also, arguably, the IO Die is the SoC, the chiplets are external to the SoC even though they all live on the same interposer.
- Groxx 5y agoFair. I think we can probably consider them to be less of a SoC than the M1 Ultra though - Ryzens do have a lot in them, but not all the system's RAM for example. (which is a good thing. all-in-one for specialized stuff is fine, but I don't want it to become the norm - upgrading one component is cheaper than upgrading multiple, and tends to support longer hardware cycles)
- olliej 5y agoI didn’t think Ryzen included on package ram?
