Can it actually hit the cache on the other chiplet? I thought that Zen's L3 caches were somewhat private to the local CCX/CCD, such that threads running on one chiplet have no way to cause new data to be prefetched or spilled in to someone else's L3.
- deagle50 4y agoMy assumption was the IO die had a directory of cache lines and would route a request to the other CCD if it were present there. You can't evict to a remote L3 but you can snoop it, I think.
- mlyle 4y agoYes, this is correct... Now, thinking about it... you can't evict to the distant L3, though. So, it really depends on the workload and whether the remote big L3 is "warmed" suitably for you.
- deagle50 4y agoYea... Bummer about the hybrid layout, voltage control will be disbled anyway to prevent killing the 3D die so I don't really care for high boost CCD. If it weren't for the EDC VID bug on Zen 3 taming PBO, I'd be running a manual OC to keep high load voltage and temps in check. Might as well have two tamed 3D CCDs.
