Did anyone else sit up and take notice at Lisa Su's mention of improved Vega cores for the Ryzen 4000 during CES?
"If you notice, the frequencies are super high – AMD said that this enhanced version of Vega, architected for 7nm, actually responded really well in terms of frequency and power, and so they were able to boost the clocks up a lot. So despite the drop from 11 CUs in the silicon design down to 8 CUs, the 1750 MHz frequency really piles on the performance. AMD is promoting +28% GPU performance in 3D Mark Time Spy against Intel’s Core i7-1065G7[.]"
I wonder if this rearchitecting is a peek into what can be expected from Arcturus? Seems Vega is going strong for now.
