"Zen 3" Chiplet Uses a Ringbus, AMD May Need to Transition to Mesh for Core-Count Growth

[thesmokingman]

This article from Ian Cutress is just speculation and conjecture; AMD will do whatever is best for AMD and regardless of the compromises involved we will buy it as long as it's better than Intel's equivalent.

Scaling core connectivity is and always has been a compromise, not sure why Ian Cutress dragged this out today, especially since I had to double take that this was a current article and not one from Zen3's launch last year.

Adored covered this topic 3 years ago too. Anandtech tries to put on airs sometimes. Just because you interview an engineer doesn't make you an engineer, smh. I'm pretty sure as you suggested, AMD knows wtf they are doing... hell they're the pioneers of chiplets lmao.

Simple, Anandtech is a dying website with less traffic and has to cover the fact that they still ahve not managed GPU reviews or even as many popular CPU reviews as before. They can go a week+ with no new articles and it's hurting them, so they have to trot something like this article out to get clicks up.

Conspiracy theory? Maybe. But anandtech has taken more then a year to review the 3080, so........
