Alleged AMD Phoenix Hybrid APU ES Frequencies Charted Out: Up To 5 GHz For Performance & 4 GHz For Efficiency Cores

wccftech.com:

Alleged clock frequencies of AMD's Hybrid Phoenix APU have been charted out which show vastly different speeds for performance & efficiency cores.

Just a few hours ago, we reported how AMD has officially listed the hybrid core design of its brand new Phoenix 2 APUs as similar to Intel's hybrid naming scheme. While we know that the Phoenix 2 APU lineup will come with a hybrid design that will make use of the Zen 4 core architecture, some new (and alleged) data has been shared by Twitter user, @xinoassassin1, which is said to be a clock frequency chart for a hybrid Phoenix ES APU.

There is no information available on what the SKU is but it is stated that this specific chip features a single CCX with a 6-core layout in a 2+4 configuration. There are 2 performance cores & 4 efficiency cores which are based on the Zen 4 core architecture.

The difference between AMD's and Intel's approach is that while Intel uses two very different architectures (Golden/Raptor Cove +Gracemont) the AMD Performance & Efficiency cores will utilize the same Zen 4 core architecture. The P-cores will be the standard designs you get on existing Ryzen 7000 chips but the tuned Zen 4 core will be getting reduced cache and clocks while focusing on pure performance efficiency.

The clock frequency was plotted while the hybrid AMD Phoenix ES APU was running a Cinebench R23 multi-bench test. Given the plot chart, we can see a huge disparity in the clock speeds of the different cores. The Core 0 and Core 5 are the P-Cores and these can be seen running anywhere between 4.0 - 5.0 GHz. The P-Cores do average out around 4.2 - 4.3 GHz. As for the E-Cores, these clocks are much lower around 2.5 - 4.0 GHz. The cores mostly average slightly below 3.0 GHz & a short burst
