Sorry, how many chiplets were AMD trying to jam into that cancelled next-gen GPU?!

There’s a freshly leaked image of a Radeon chiplet GPU design—reportedly from a now-cancelled Navi 4C die—and it’s rocking anywhere between 13 and 20 different chiplets on one GPU. I love a bit of ambition, but I think we’re starting to see why AMD really might be calling time on competing at the high end in its next graphics card generation.

The GPU design schematic has come from the Moore’s Law is Dead channel (via Videocardz) and shows a hugely more complex chiplet design than we’ve seen in the current Navi 31 silicon that powers the Radeon RX 7900 XTX. That was the first chiplet GPU in the gaming space, and honestly I thought it was a minor miracle AMD had managed to get the card working as well as it did as a gen1 implementation of the tech.
