… These results may explain why AMD will pack as many as 96 cores in its upcoming Zen 4 platform. Increasing core counts offers the smaller company a solid chance of staying ahead of the competition, particularly when combined with the single-thread improvements Zen 4 will bring to the table. …
… The top chip will have 52 cores in a dual-die configuration, with 16 P cores, 32 E cores, and 4 low-power cores, and a big-cache chip attached to deliver AMD X3D-style gaming performance. There will also be a 28-core variant, a single-die 28-core chip, and 16-core and 8-core options. …
… So far, the tidbits that have leaked out about Zen sound pretty reasonable. The new architecture is rumored to have a 64KB L1 cache 32d, 32i and a 512KB L2 cache per core. The L3 cache is rumored to be 8MB and split between each group of four cores. …
… Moving to Zen 3 is quite a leap. At the top of the product stack is the aforementioned 8C/16T Ryzen 7 5825C. It sports a 2GHz base clock and a max boost of 4.5GHz on a single core. It's sporting a Radeon Vega iGPU with eight cores running at 1.8GHz. …
… A 72-core / 80-core CPU with a 400W TDP would reach lower clocks and expend less energy per core than a 56-core CPU in the same power envelope. Intel has launched 400W CPUs before and there are rumors that AMD's Zen 4 Epyc CPU, Genoa, will offer up to 96 cores in a 400W TDP envelope. …
… AMD says boosting the core count is also a boon to efficiency. The top-end Genoa chip has 96 cores and 192 threads, whereas Intel's latest Xeon Platinum CPU maxes out at 40 cores -- AMD also says its Zen 3 cores are up to 55 percent faster than Intel's cores. …
… Generally speaking, the higher a CPU's core count, the less overclocking headroom you can expect to have. Officially, the 1900X is just $50 more expensive Opens in a new window than the Ryzen 7 1800X, though we've seen Ryzen 7 CPUs on sale from a number of vendors in the $400 to $430 range. …

… We can assume that the 2560 GPU cores on Arrow Lake will be more efficient than anything Intel has in-market today, but GPU core counts can't be compared between manufacturers and Intel's future chips might include more than 8 ALUs per EU. …
