Dieshots for AMD's upcoming Phoenix 2 chip have leaked, showcasing a smaller, more cost-effective design that's seen both CPU and GPU resources shaved in order to decrease die area.

Phoenix 2 will likely be marketed under the Ryzen 5 and Ryzen 3 brands rather than the Ryzen 7, with model names like "Ryzen 5 7540U" and "Ryzen 3 7340U".

Slight typo. It's Ryzen 3 7440U, and not 73.

Also, these SKUs would also be using two types of cores, ZEN 4 and ZEN 4c. Either a full flat "Phoenix 2" die, or a cut-down Phoenix 1 die. So that's 2 high+4 low core config, or 8 high-clock cores binned down to '2 high-clock + 4 low-clock' cores (since Zen 4c is just a down-clocked version of Zen 4).

Basically these are dual-sourced chips.

The Zen 4C core is a cut-down version of Zen 4, which is downclocked, making it possible for the APU to bin down from 8 high-clock cores to 2 high-clock and 4 low-clock cores. This is most probably AMD's version of the "hybrid" strategy that was previously revealed.

Zen 4 and Zen 4C cores are mostly the same design in my opinion, but the latter is optimized for "density" and features a lower cache.

Why are they using 2 as a suffix? so only two models come under the phoenix 2 lineup ?
