To be fair, at least part of the reason was to maintain backwards compatibility with Wii games without the need for emulation, they were probably hoping a lot of Wii buyers would go and replace their Wii with a Wii U. And they didn't only add 2 cores and higher clocks, the core L2 also went...

And money, and herein lies the problem with 20A, in my opinion. Everyone including Intel themselves is waiting for 18A for the big volume products, so they'll likely never install 20A anywhere outside their one R&D production line in Santa Clara (at least that's where I'd expect it to be...

Assuming you're referring to Strix Points' max GPU clock of 2.9 GHz, max clock != average/sustained clock, and Strix IGP has 33% more WGPs on virtually the same process. There's also that without significantly more cache, it's probably quite bandwidth-constrained for the 16 WGP version, so...

Discussion Zen 5 Speculation (EPYC Turin and Strix Point/Granite Ridge - Ryzen 9000)

Considering it has 33% more CUs than Phoenix, other improvements and is probably incredibly mem-bandwidth-bound anyway, that seems like a decent clockspeed to me. Could've probably gone a bit higher if there was a point to it. That won't necessarily do much for cases like games, where L2/L3...

Discussion Zen 5 Speculation (EPYC Turin and Strix Point/Granite Ridge - Ryzen 9000)

Is it possible IPC only goes up significantly in very int-heavy workloads and everything more mixed or fp-heavy is much less (outside of AVX512)? Not sure how consumer workloads compare to server applications in terms of int/fp mix. I mean, from what I know, apart from the 16KB bigger L1D...

No offense, but neither do you seem to. - Those +11% perf/-22% power numbers are either/or numbers, you get one or the other, not both. It's either 11% more perf aka clockspeed at same power budget, or 22% less power at same clocks. Or ~5% higher clocks at 10-12% less power, if you look for the...
