Cool.

Those CPU cores look really close to the edge. Wonder if it will make for cooling challenges, assuming that's where the heat will be the highest instead of closer to the middle.

I have a suspicion that there is room for a third ...

I wonder if the iGPU is integrated with the IO chip. From what I recall, the IO chip is on a smaller node, but since the default iGPU is very cut-down, it would make the chip a bit bigger, but not too much bigger.

Will have to make sure the thermal paste spreads out to the edge/s when using a cooler. https://thumbs.gfycat.com/DishonestBetterIcterinewarbler-max-1mb.gif

I'm very curious how much a leap Zen4 will be over Zen3 for gaming. The 5800X3D is already a pretty substantial improvement for games due to the extra cache and Zen4 might have that advancement as well as the architectural update and the node shrink so I wouldn't be surprised if this was a very significant launch.
I was hopin to wait to upgrade til zen 4 and the 4000 series Nvidia GPUs, but alas when your PCs goes kaputt you just gotta deal with the cards your dealt. There's just no way I could go without a PC for like 5 months (and who knows prices might go berserk at launch).

reminds me of when I de-lidded my 9900k. That shiny gold plating is cool. I still have my lid I should scrap the gold LOL jk. I want a 7000 series Ryzen bad now so I can OC it!!!! YUMMY YUMMY AMD goodness coming.

back on topic...
so with the Intel changing the pin layout we haven't seen their de-lidded proc yet, but i would think that since it's a monolithic design that the heat sources would take up more real estate across the socket.
i am surprised (that this never occurred to me before) about the qualities of the AMD TIM.
i'm even more surprised they haven't slapped some trademarked marketing name to it.
i would be down for "Wonder Goo", but i'm doubtful anyone else is. just think... if you're using the same cpu block you've been cooling progressively smaller spots across generations... i don't think we're at the point of a practical need of changing coldplates/waterblocks - but we are getting close.
thank heavens that most AM 4 procs are (relatively) low power which mitigates the (potential) issue.
just say "No" to Ryzen 9 (AM 4) with a sff air cooler in a sff case, aio is your friend

[/SPOILER] but there are 2 of them.
It also appears amd is intending to keep am4 around for another year or 2 probably for supply reasons, which should carry a decent chunk of their way to their next contract renewal, especially since zen4 based epyc don't appear to launching anytime soon.
its possible , the x670 chipset(s) seem pretty small though,[SPOILER]spine
There's plenty of room for 4 cores if they really wanted to...
