According to members of the Anandtech forums, AMD has significantly reduced cache size to accommodate large AI chips on upcoming Strix Point hardware. If the reports prove accurate, it would suggest that AMD and other processor vendors are placing considerable bets on a trend that is still unproven.
User “uzzi38” claimed that AMD initially intended to equip Strix Point APUs with system-level cache, which would have substantially improved CPU and integrated graphics performance. However, this plan was replaced with an emphasis on enhanced Neural Processing Units (NPUs), which are positioned as the central feature driving the new wave of AI-enhanced PCs.
