There’s nothing to say, that isn’t the case (with what you suggested in the last part of your message)…who knows? All these leakers throw so much shit at the wall and tiny bits of it stick, and they point it out and jump up and down, and say “I told you so!” Even though there’s been a tonne of false leaks and misdirection that everyone has had to sift through along the way.

Take for instance the recent leak of Linux driver updates, mentioning gfx1200, could be a larger “N41” die, or it could be a nothing-burger.

It was a spit ball % guess…chiplets for CPU scale excellently (up till about 64 cores, sort of drops off steeply after that)…whether GPUs scale like that remains to be seen (doubtful)…but if you think AMD hasn’t gone to all this trouble to break away from monolithic designs with MCDs and GCDs, and not iterate with a multi GCD design…then I dunno what to tell you bro…🤷

I see no one, coming to the conclusion that there’s only leaks about N44/48 because AMD doesn’t need a larger die for a multiple GCD (gpu chiplet MCM approach) SKU.

Put two N44s together, and you’ve got like 80% of the equivelant of 2x 7900xtx…quite capable or competing with a 5090 in theory.
