We'll see how that ends up, but I brought up the Windows topic to Arm in regards to Mali a few years ago and they said they had no plans for it,...
Well yea IC is obviously performance focused - I doubt their APU SLC would be that aggressive, but you never know. If they can do both perf and...
Mobile SoCs have had coherent interconnects since like 2014, the point of SLCs was power. What's your view of "purpose" of IF? I just view it as a...
An actual SLC sits in front/beside the memory controllers and offers itself to the whole SoC. And currently, the CPU L3 is only for the CPU......
That's literally the figure for the 2017 EPYC .... things happened long time ago.
Those papers are completely irrelevant. In the next year we'll have packaging and d2d interconnect methods that use 1/10th* the energy per bit of...
I'm not familiar with the exact patents and what they contain but generally I think it should be viewed as a group of patents adding onto each...
For most of the past two decades it's been patents. The fundamental ones should have expired by now but I'm sure there's recent ones. Qualcomm's...
AMD has a profit margin from the chips. Board partners have to buy the chips.
No, reducing the baseline power consumption has absolute paramount for battery life, even on a laptop. And the efficiency cores are still plenty...
We've had 1.2TFLOP mobile SoCs within 4-5W for well over a year now;...
The Zen2 L3 saturates at 667GB/s on my 3700X at around 4.3GHz, based on that it's around 256b per slice at 4MB per slice. 16 * 8MB seems...
Memory bandwidth didn't actually change, just some µarch changes on how things behave. This is why I'm glad GB5 dropped the memory tests.
While dynamic leakage is getting lower, static leakage is growing with each generation and growing caches. Fortunately it still looks like the...
That sentence is meant to say that it shares it over several dual-CUs, 5 of them to be precise in Navi10. You have the diagram in the same paper.
