These are rebadged Phoenix chips, which are monolithic to get higher efficiency in laptops. They top at 8 CPU cores and 12 GPU CUs.
Even 12 CUs are an overkill for the memory bandwidth made possible by DDR5/LPDDR5/X.
There are no 18+CU Phoenix chips because there hasn’t been a solid case for >128bit memory width in PCs, nor Infinity Cache in APUs.
It makes little sense to make up armchair specialist numbers and then complain that AMD didn’t put those in the market.
