AMD’s chiplet strategy in laptops: balancing innovation and power efficiency. AMD says that chiplet design for mainstream mobile APUs is challenging due to power constraints. The chiplet approach has been instrumental in the success of the Ryzen CPU series. In the domain of laptops, AMD is still evaluating how to approach this idea. During a […]
Yeah it’s basically widely known now that chiplet Ryzens have noticeably higher idle power draw than either monolithic Ryzens or monolithic Intel chips. I am curious how Meteor Lake’s chiplets are going to avoid the idle power penalty.
Meteor lake uses a more expensive, lower yield but higher performance and efficiency approach to MCM than Ryzen desktop CPUs. However Ryzen uses their approach precisely for the yields and cost
At full blast, efficiency is lost, but at low power state, the CPU can shut down most of the tiles to actually gain net efficiency
