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 prepared Ryzen 3 7300X as well as Ryzen 7 7800X, a 10-core/20-thread processor, in response to Intel’s advantage in multi-threaded computing.

AMD has prepared Ryzen 3 7300X as well as Ryzen 7 7800X, a 10-core/20-thread processor, in response to Intel’s advantage in multi-threaded computing.

One important benefit of Intel’s Hybrid architecture is the performance of multi-threaded applications. Although the E-cores are small, they perform admirably and, when used in sufficient numbers, have a significant impact on multi-threaded performance. AMD is being forced to reevaluate CPU core counts across its product line as a result...
