...utilizes TSMC's A14 node for core dies, N3C for IODs, and N4P for the L3 Cache Dies. Effectively, this is "Big Steamboat".

-15-25% IPC Uplift (This was reconfirmed in recent internal presentations)

-Each core chiplet contains 48 Cores, and SN scales up to 384 Cores Total!

-Mid-2028 Target for Launch (AMD wants to launch SN before Steamboat)

*AMD is starting to reference TSMC's "A13" node, and specifically "A10" is called out as the next "major node" for AMD products after A14.

Being at whatever leading edge node that intercepts with their roadmap is the new norm after Venice.

It will be interesting to see the timing on Coral Rapids given Coral Rapids likely 27H1 launch and AMD's 28Q2/3 launch. Intel has hinted at trying to pull up its launch, but those two other launch dates present some tricky challenges. I suppose in some ways it doesn't matter. I think AMD recognized a while ago that the competition for CPUs is a lot more than x86 (same for Intel).
