It's 8 Cores per chiplet. No confirmation on CCX.
| JEMC said: Not yet. I mean, we can see from that pic that each chiplet has 16 cores and that each chiplet in Rome has 2 CPUs with 8 cores each, but we still don't know if each CPU still consists of 2 CCX with 4 cores each or just one CCX with the 8 cores. |
There are 8 chiplets in that image surrounding the 14nm I/O chip.
8x8 = 64.
So it's 8, not 16. :P
I would think CCX is now at 8... Makes sense and allows for scaling on the mainstream platforms.

A low-power process, coupled with the CCX design (so smaller dies instead of monolithic designs for reasonable yields) were successful with the first Zen already, so they are going to try it again on both CPUs and GPUs. That's my take, at least. Edit - eh, on the other hand, power consumption of the upcoming 7 nm Radeon Instinct seems disgusting. Unless there are huge IPC gains to make up for it anyone expecting next-generation consoles to be >10 TF beasts are going to be sorely disappointed, unless MS and Sony go for huge dies at low frequencies. |
Don't get your hopes up on the GPU front.
