Was hard to get, due hand made only, minimum order $100k
]]>Its all very well, but amd zen fabric architecture, now has a product spread from a single 4 core ccx on an apu, to a pair of ccx on desktop am4 cpuS, 4 in a workstation, 8 in a server and 16 in a dual socket, and inevitably, 32 in a quad socket server in time.
thats currently up to 64 cores, yet all based on the same; cheap, efficient, mass produced lego block chiplet – the 4 core ccx core complex.
exciting stuff that has the world agog.
But wait, out of the blue at computex, these numbers of ccxS have have now doubled as we see initially in TR, and these new cpus run fine on existing platforms.
The eye glazing intel products discussed seem customised expensive ~monolithics for low volume high price.
Having the best unit becomes irrelevant once you can team units. The issue becomes, which team does the job cheapest?
Quantity has a quality all of its own, as they say.
