Dual-CCD packages are used in some AMD Ryzen 5 7600X processors.

A de-lidding achievement by der8auer reveals that some AMD Ryzen 5 7600X 6-core/12-thread processors could be built with dual-CCD “Raphael” packages. All six CPU cores are present on just one of the two CCDs in this processor, which functions similarly to a single-CCD package. The other CCD is fully deactivated. AMD has previously used dual-CCD MCMs to create low core-count Ryzen 5 and Ryzen 7 processors, such the Ryzen 3000 “Matisse” and Ryzen 5000 “Vermeer.” Typically, the Ryzen 5 and Ryzen 7 SKUs are built on a single-CCD package, with the substrate physically lacking a second CCD. As a result of the IHS’s compact size and durability, the second, The IHS is compact and strong enough to stand alone without the assistance of the second CCD. This leads us to hypothesize that dual-CCD packages that were created in excess of demand are what the 7600X is made of.
