It's coming. Now we just need a gaming version.

AMD keep being the first one and making tech exiting again, can't wait for next year RDNA3 to bring MCM to consumers!
This might help alleviate prices across the range, we could use for lower prices as +1000€ mid range GPUs is asking too much when a console costs 300-400€.

I too am curious to see how this performs under gaming tasks. I think the first generation won't be much to game on, but they'll eventually figure out the bugs in the second iteration.
I hope somebody can hack that driver and see what's happening under gaming benches.

This should greatly improve yields across the board and prices hopefully idc how they do it but prices have to drop or gaming on pc is done for me at least.

Worst-case scenario, if MCM doesn't work well for desktop/gaming use, it is still valuable to servers. Servers don't care as much about sharing resources between processors. In a lot of servers, a bridge to each GPU isn't necessary since they're not typically working on the exact same workload, as they would in a game.
That's the part I'm most excited about. Not only is MCM cheaper because they don't have to make such valuable gigantic dies, but the total product per-wafer increases, which will help keep up with demand and therefore lower prices. This is a big deal.
Depending how MCM is approached, part of me wonders if we might start seeing multi-GPU setups again, except you can mix and match whatever you want and not face a major performance penalty.

We need a new platform, motherboards with cards the way we got them now is too old school, Image a computer that its build like a car engine, in 3D, where you can integrate cooling systems right inside the hardware and add GPU or CPU modules like cylinder heads on a Gas Engine
