Wonder how long we have until they make chiplet without L3$ and rely only upon 3D V-Cache. That would allow to make chiplet either roughly 2x smaller or pack twice as much cores.
- wtallis 4y agoAll the V-Cache parts are currently premium parts. Dropping the L3 from the underlying CCD chiplet would force them to incur the extra 3D packaging costs on all the products using those chiplets. It would also put the V-Cache directly over the CPU cores, where the current products only stack V-Cache on top of the L3 portion of the underlying CCD. I don't expect them to make this kind of change anytime soon.
