There has been a discussion regarding the complex nomenclature employed for Ryzen 7000 mobile CPUs. With the unveiling of the series, AMD mixed multiple architectures into a single […]

It makes little sense to make up armchair specialist numbers and then complain that AMD didn’t put those in the market.
I read a 18CU and 24CU rumor long ago. If that is pointless then so be it. Thanks for clarifying.
