Yeah, the memory bus will probably limit the potential of that chip. But we'll see.

And one of the reasons Silicon Lottery is closing is because most CPUs already run close to their limit nowadays, making their "products" less appealing.

The Infinity Cache does muddy the waters significantly though.

But it also cost valuable space so, at the end of the day, one has to wonder is their bet on Infinity Cache is really paying off or if they'd be better going with a bigger memory bus while "wasting" more die space.

Who knows, maybe with RDNA3 and its MCM design, the extra cache is a better approach that routing all the extra memory lanes but, until then, it seems overly compicated with no real gains.
