AMD Ryzen 5 7600X has two CCDs
Since AMD has adopted the chiplet approach, its processors have made use of two or more CCDs (Core Complex Die) depending on the model and the number of cores it plans to include. The thing, already seen with the previous Ryzen 7 5800X and Ryzen 5 5600X, has not changed with the new Ryzen 7000. Recently, the Der8auer overclocker delidded a Ryzen 5 7600X and found that it consists of two CCDs, with one being disabled however. Although it may seem strange, in reality this is nothing unusual, as it is a strategy used by the Sunnyvale company to maximize the resources for the production of the CPUs.

If, however, AMD has been using the chiplet approach for some time, its main competitor Intel, which has so far always opted for a monolithic fabrication, will also begin to exploit the advantages of the MCM (Multi Chip Module) design from Meteor Lake. This architecture will also make use of Foveros' proprietary 3D stacking technology, which allows die components to be stacked vertically. Recently, the core configurations of both Meteor Lake, and the later Arrow Lake architecture, were leaked on an internal slide from the Santa Clara company: we told you about them in an article.
