The Performance & Power Improvement Of Steam Deck OLED's 6nm APU
Physical dimensions of a N6 transistors are irrelevant for this discussion. The fact is N6 offers 17-25% better density than N7/P and that is the only reason why SoC of OLED version is smaller. HW IP blocks have not changed, GPU/CPU core config has not changed, I/O has not changed. "AMD did something unknown in SoC design to make it smaller" is a total bullshit.
Lithography is a king. It was always the case it will be always the case.
Total bullshit. It doesn't shrink anywhere near that, especially SRAM does fuck all. They removed a bunch of crap that was just unused, like the Cadense DSPs.
