       ...I feel like that @tomshardware article could've made the point a little more clearly that the Ryzen 435G is just about equal in CPU performance to the 8600G with half the L3 cache and a 500 MHz slower boost clock on the same process node. that's the uplift moving from Zen 4 to Zen 5.#AMD #Ryzen #Zen5

       I'm a bit less excited about the G/GE series chips these days since they're no longer homogenous (these days they're a mix of full-fat and compact cores, although this is less heterogenous than Intel's chips which have entirely different microarchitectures between core types) and since AMD isn't increasing the L3 this generation... but I admit that my use case - #1LPC Proxmox servers - is not their target niche, given that they spend a ton of die space on a pretty decent GPU which, at least as of Zen 3, can't be passed thru to a VM.

       ...and given the 435G vs 8600G performance, it could be argued that AMD was quite logical in not increasing L3 this generation, they clearly didn't need to. but I wish they would've. having a good iGPU has always been a higher priority for the G/GE chips though.
