CPU chip design has become more complex than in the past, leading companies like AMD to introduce multiple chip designs that allow them to combine and connect multiple chipsets together. This design allows for memory manipulation. Transferring large amounts of data between stacks and connected cores. with her.
With AMD's multi-chip design on Ryzen desktop and EPYC server processors, the chips unlock new levels of performance while ensuring higher power consumption compared to monolithic single-core SoC designs.
The monolithic chip design makes full use of the chip's area while improving the power efficiency of the processor. Because all the components are so close together, individual components can communicate very quickly.
Multi-chip designs offer great advantages in the high-end market, where performance is prioritized over power consumption. AMD's well-documented view is that using multiple computer chips (CCDs) on a single chip is more cost effective than producing a single large computer chip. This approach allows AMD to dramatically increase the efficiency of each chip it accesses, increase the throughput of each chip on the chip, and reduce the risk of chip damage.
In response to the question “Why hasn't AMD integrated its multi-chip architecture into the laptop market yet, especially thin and light ones?”, AMD emphasized its multi-chip architecture approach in mobile processors.
According to QuasarZone, AMD recently addressed this issue during a media Q&A session in South Korea. AMD CEO David McAfee responded to the question: “When we start designing and producing a product, we also think about a unified monolithic desktop chip design and multi-chip designs for PCs and laptops. However, relying on multi-chip designs This is difficult for laptops because the main obstacle is high power consumption. Since the cost of increased power consumption must be taken into account when relying on multi-chip designs, it seems that we can move in this direction if multi-chip designs are considered suitable. Currently, it has been proven that Monolithic chip designs are more cost effective and power efficient than multi-chip designs, but if there is an incentive to avoid that in the future (the problem of high power consumption), then I think I would consider a monochip design.
Intel will be the first processor manufacturer in the laptop market to significantly embrace the multi-chip design concept. According to the latest news, the upcoming Meteor Lake architecture is expected to offer all the benefits of microchip-based designs without the high power consumption issues typically associated with such designs.
This success was only possible thanks to the implementation of an intelligent power system in Meteor Lake processors, capable of intelligently turning off several unused microchips individually. Intel's power saving feature is so powerful that computer chips can stop working completely when they enter sleep mode.
If it reaches this point, as it claims, Intel will be the first to prove that multiple microchips can be used in laptops, achieving a revolutionary new performance milestone.
