Low-power Zen 6 CPU cores reportedly beat Intel E-cores in power consumption while bringing 75% IPC of Zen 5

[Redaktion]

AMD is expected to outfit the desktop Zen 6 CPUs with both full-sized Zen 6 cores on the Zen 6 CCDs and low-power Zen 5 LP cores on the I/O die. According to Moore's Law Is Dead, the Zen 5 LP cores boast good performance and super low power consumption.

These new Zen 5 LP cores are ideal for laptops, and it looks like they'll be used in handheld consoles with AMD Z2 and probably laptops.
Currently, people are opting for AMD laptops and products due to their high performance and low power consumption.

I guess these will be perfect to target N100/N300, assuming thier die size is good.


An SoC with 8 LP cores, 2CU, 64-128bit LPDDR5 and 12-16 usable PCIe lanes will be perfect for low power routers/firewalls and even NAS. A higher end version can be made with 2 c or full Zen 5/6 with those 8LP.

Fix your title, it makes no sense and doesn't cohere with the article

If this is true, AMD is backtracking on their no HW thread director stance.

Exactly!,  These N100/N305s and their more recent cpu refreshes still did not fix the limited pci-e lanes, we can't get 10gbps speeds almost, more when those nvmes are taking up the lane speed.

Id like to see AMD take ship here, get good gpu acceleration for video playback and even lower power draws and more importantly more pcie lanes, since intel are slacking.
