why the fuck is it so big

dubs

Because we've reverted back to 2007 where high core count processors were just two smaller ones glued together

4U

There's more than one die under the hood. Threadripper only has two, though.

Has core meme'ing gone too far?

>>60751766
That's actually good though. Only reason Intel doesn't do it is because they don't have a technology like infinity fabric

Threadripper is like a V8 engine and Intel is like a straight-eight

>>60751755
You better ask why is it so small. Because smaller = hotter.

>>60751853
Your existence has gone too far.

>>60751755
to compensate for lack of market share

>>60751755
>>60751834
I bet it still has 4 dies since threadripper chips are probably EPYC rejects.

>>60752446
They have 80% yields on the 8 core dies. It's not Intel monolithic crap.

We already had this thread

>>60751755
Yeah I know right, that'll never fit in your pocket

3.5mm jack

you're a big die

Threadripper feels more like a Cadillac 16, imo.

>>60752378
this

It's a 16 core processor, needs the space and area to draw off heat. It's a sevrer processor more than anything.

>>60752369
this
7nm will be a stopgap
10nm will be released afterwards bcos higher clocks less heat etc

got that backward, a straight 8 is much longer and hard to package which is why they were dropped for V8's in post war cars

you can think of a V8 as two i4's (usually at a 90' angle) sharing the same crank, a bit wider than an i4 but no longer than one

>>60753150
agreed, it's fuckhuge

You have a problem with the AMD stealth marketing that doesn't exist?
