AMD has had heterogeneous cores since at least the beginning of the year with the 7900X3D and 7950X3D. The differences between cores there are even bigger than with these parts. Some cores clock lower but have more cache than others so depending on workload the optimal cores are different. With Zen4 vs Zen4c apparently only the clocks change so some cores are strictly better than the others.
- The_Colonel 3y agoYes, that's true, AMD actually had such models since the 5X00 series. As I understand these models are somewhat niche and focused on the gaming market where AMD has some custom support for selecting the 3D cache cores. Having said that, I don't really want to defend MS, they should add full support for this, but basically I believe it's just a matter of time.
- pedrocr 3y agoThe 5800X3D had all cores with extra cache just like the 7800X3D. They didn't do a 5900X3D or 5950X3D so the problem didn't exist before.
