I'm curious how similar the new Raptor Cove cores look to the Golden Cove cores of Alder Lake. Are they the same size (excluding L2)? Do they have the same layout? Does it look like Raptor Cove also has AVX-512 in silicon?

The L2 cache is actually already present on Alder lake, fused off, was there for Sapphire Rapids reasons(Or so I heard). So only design needed was to add an additional 8 E core chunk, AVX-512 is still there and unused...
