I wonder if we will ever figure out something to do with computers other than gaming. Then we would finally have a use for the countless > 8 core CPUs released for some weird resson
I mean, big vcache CPUs are already great for max-quality encoding, media processing, niche renderig and some other workloads. Software dev loves lots of cores.
I’d certainly like a bigger CPU for hybrid inference too.
Folks run all sorts of weird stuff on CPUs.
Two V-Cache CCDs just don’t make sense for consumer use-cases is the point here.
Because of the latency topology you’d only see a benefit if both CCDs were running independent programs that are more strictly sensitive to latency than compute throughput. That’s a very niche subset of uses, and like I said, ideal for a GSP deployment. This should be a product, but in the EPYC 4005 family.
Otherwise, you’re better off with some sort of heterogeneous topology, one can imagine an 8 core V-Cache CCD paired with a 16 c-core CCD design (this is very roughly what Intel is pursuing with upcoming products) which offers compelling utility even in the consumer space.
