And more clearly indicate the presence of these same nuclei
AMD is beginning to increasingly use relatively small Zen 4c cores in its processors, but for some reason it does not disclose all the information about them. However, the company promises to improve in the near future.
In particular, we have said more than once that technically the cores of Zen 4c differ from Zen 4 only in being smaller. But at the same time, they also operate at lower frequencies, and AMD does not disclose these same frequencies. The company promised that in the near future it will begin to indicate these specifications in its new advertising materials, and will also update information about existing CPUs on the website.
In addition to the frequency, there are questions about the information directly about the availability of Zen 4c cores. This information is on the website, but if you go to the page of any CPU with such cores, this information will not be there. You need to click on the link leading to detailed specifications, and the number of Zen 4 and Zen 4c cores will be indicated in detail there. This will also be fixed.
AMD explained her current behavior by saying that she needs to understand how to present information correctly.
We need to test what we reveal and incorporate feedback further, looking at both our own approach and the competition's approach. The only thing I will say about our architecture is that Zen 4c and Intel E-core are very different in their capabilities, so we are not trying to describe them the same
That is, AMD is afraid that people will begin to perceive their Zen 4c cores as the small E-Core cores in modern Intel processors. Let us remember that Intel's small cores are based on completely separate architectures and, among other things, do not support multithreading. The small Zen 4c cores are based on the same architecture as the larger Zen 4 cores, and differ from the latter only in a smaller area occupied on the chip and lower frequencies.
