Ryzen Threadripper ES版为4xMCM

Plotwistwist：AMD让der8auer删掉了油管上的TR开盖视频，尽管他事前已经经过AMD同意，且没有违反NDA协议。

der8auer开盖发现Threadripper不是之前一致认为的2xMCM，而是4xMCM，与EPYC一样

里面就有4块Ryzen晶片但只启用了2个晶片，8+8

因为这是ES版，Ian预测正式版Threadripper只会有2颗晶片（这里原文用词欠妥）

最终如何还是得看零售版本

从成本角度考虑：

TR与EPYC都为4xMCM更合理一些。

而且单颗Zeppelin die成本很低。

PCWorld：

某位匿名人士称另外两颗晶片只是占位的，为了保证巨大顶盖不变形

“declined to be identified“

Those other two “chips” are nothing more than spacers to help maintain the structural integrity of the gigantic heat spreader, PCWorld has learned from a source who declined to be identified.

The source didn’t detail much more, but it makes a lot of sense when you consider the size of the CPU and its construction. Rather than a single monolithic die, like Intel uses on its Core i9, AMD builds its Ryzen and Ryzen Threadripper CPUs using multiple chips connected with a high-speed fabric.

If AMD had populated a Threadripper CPU with just two of the dies, the metal heat spreader would likely bend where the empty spots are.

开盖切掉了个SMD，CPU挂了
