The CCD stack with 3D V-Cache on the AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D is only 40-45µm in total, but the rest of the layers add up to a whopping 750µm.

    There is also writing on the heat spreader that serves no performance purpose.

    Wtf is that title.

    This doesn’t mean that it has no purpose, but it isn’t involved a bit in the operation. […] Since the SRAM and CCD layers are pretty thin, they are pretty fragile and could result in damage during manufacturing or handling. With the added dummy silicon, the issue is eliminated.

    Suppose this alleviates the IHS height/thickness in some way for GNR-X. Expected it would eventually play out like this though it’s sad that RPL / HPT DT had to suffer.
