Looks like the first patent for a on die CPU scheduler for upcoming architecture, it may or may not be an X86-64 core, but it only makes sense if they have the know how now to make a 4Ghz scheduling CPU on die to make their GPU cores more efficient without any overhead since it could be considered the first basic AI for accelerating GPU workloads.

might also be part of an interface IF for multiple GPUs.

Nice to see some progress on AMD's GPU side. Its about goddamn time we get a bit more than a roadmap full of too little too late. But then this won't see the light of day for at least 3 years ahead.

It also doesn't look mighty complicated... 'when its full, see if you can stuff in some more' 'and then some' captures it quite well I think. But it does sound very much like a fix for AMD's resource allocation problem and efficiency.

I'm surprised its this patent and the chip cooler did no one see the raytracing one on another site, it is on tom's

I think these are from 2017 so in a few more years we Might see them.

infinity fabric gpus, like i saw from,
new mac pro with dual navi gpu card

• Support for Infinity Fabric Link GPU interconnect technology – With up to 84GB/s per direction low-latency peer-to-peer memory access, the scalable GPU interconnect technology enables GPU-to-GPU communications up to 5X faster than PCIe Gen 3 interconnect speeds.

do chiplets on gpus and amd could have an easy time beating nvidia. either one would rock!

so like how maxwell has an arm cpu integrated in it

Midland Dogso like how maxwell has an arm cpu integrated in it

That's only used for boot and power management. An actual X86-64 core can run native code, and already runs much higher clock speed than ARM cores.

Patenting can help them, but in a relatively limited way.
Generally speaking, alternates that do the same thing can be developed and implemented without breaching what someone else did.
I think it's still for x64 stuff, what else could it serve ?

Yup let main CPU hand off a task to the GPU and from there it's on board GPU optimized CPU can handle the rest until it needs to communicate with it again which it could do in short bursts. The big benifit is it could be a more GPU optimized CPU in terms of L cache, instruction sets, and frequency scaling, and on top of that no OS contention to deal with unlike the primary CPU that has who knows what background tasks running, telemetry, windows updates, virus scans, ect that could be slowing it down or intermittently slowing it down and probably wouldn't scale as high frequency as a more simple 1-2c/2-4t CPU could especially with binning.

Think of Intel's 5GHz CPU's integrate 1-2cores like that on the GPU itself and suddenly that makes the primary CPU a lot less frequency starved from a gaming standpoint at 1080p esport epeen Intel talking points. When you think about it like that too it makes a lot more sense than trying to get 16c to run at 5GHz on all cores for example to match Intel general grasping at straws a bit performance advantage in games that don't scale at resolutions that don't scale lol with overkill refresh rates ofc because hey gotta win somehow at all costs 240p 960Hz refresh rate here I come pew pew pew!!
