Great deep dive into AMD's Infinity Fabric! The balance between bandwidth, latency, and clock speeds shows both clever engineering and limits under pressure. Makes me wonder how these trade-offs will evolve in future designs. Thoughts? | ||||||||

IMHO these internal and external high speed interconnects will be more and more important in the future, as More's law is dying, GHz aren't increasing, and newer FAB nodes are becoming monstrously expensive, so connecting cheaper made dies together is the only way to scale compute performance for consumer applications where cost matters. Apple did the same on the high end M chips. The only challenge is SW also needs to be rewritten to use these new architectures efficiently otherwise we see performance decreases instand of increases. | ||||||||
