I wonder if Zen 4c is going to trickle down to the consumer market. There are multiple possibilities for CPUs with mixed chiplets but who knows if they really make sense outside the server world. It's exciting
- happycube 3y agoA 24-core Ryzen with an 8C zen4+3d sram and a 16C zen4c chip might be quite interesting. There are probably already a few in AMD's labs ;)
- wmf 3y agoYeah, that would destroy the 14900K.
- mosquitobiten 3y agoWow, do CPUs have that capability now? To actually destroy other CPUs? How does that work? Do they get the "Annihilate.Competition" instructions set in an update when they detect a Intel machine in the network?/s

- throw7890 3y agoThere was a very detailed post with die shots etc on semi analysis a few weeks back https://www.semianalysis.com/p/zen-4c-amds-response-to-hyperscale https://www.semianalysis.com/p/zen-4c-amds-response-to-hyper... In the subscriber only section it was mentioned there will be some Zen5 consumer parts using Zen5c as the equivalent of current Intel E-cores.
- dhruvdh 3y agoI think it is unfair to the semianalysis team to share information from the subscriber only section.
- rat9988 3y agoNothing unfair honestly.
- InvaderFizz 3y agoWhy? The article has a paywall about half way through.
- dhruvdh 3y agoBecause for them subscribers are low-volume. Subscriber only section is generally pretty small and shares a couple key tips or viewpoints. If there was nothing wrong with it OP wouldn't feel the need to use a throwaway account.
- throw7890 3y agoI made a throw as I can't remember my login and wanted to highlight the semi article due to the amazing detail there. There is a lot more detail in the article on the possible 4c/5c uses, it's been speculated in a lot of contexts for the hybrid configurations (even by AMD directly) so don't think it's surprising to mention this at all.
