Latest update (11-11 17:22): Mike Clark explains AMD's Zen 6 and Zen 6c design changes from Zen 5

Overview: In an interview with Chips and Cheese, AMD architect Mike Clark explains how Zen 6 and Zen 6c differ from Zen 5 and why. Clark says Zen 6c keeps the same software-facing design as Zen 6 but uses larger queues because it targets a lower frequency.

Clark also says Zen 6 cuts integer multiply units from three to two, adds two VNNI units, and enables the full 4MB of L3 cache per core in the dense Zen 6 core, for 32 cores and 128MB of L3.
