Possible AMD Hybrid Phoenix 2 APU Spotted in 2+4 CPU Configuration

An alleged AMD Phoenix 2 hybrid APU has been spotted in the MilkyWay@Home database, featuring 2+4 CPU configuration. While the APU was note named, the "A70F80" CPUID apparently is a part of the Phoenix 2 lineup. According to the database entry, the APU in question has two standard Zen 4 and four power-optimized (low-power) Zen 4 cores, making such chip a sort a big.LITTLE-like hybrid configuration. It appears to support multithreading on all six cores.

While the entry does not confirm this is indeed the Phoenix 2 APU, it does matches some previous rumors. Such upcoming APU, as detailed by Tomshardware, is rumored to feature two Zen 4 cores with 2 MB of L2 and 4 MB of L3 cache, and four Zen 4c cores with 4 MB of L2 cache and 4 MB of L3 cache, which is a rather surprising configuration. It should also come with RDNA 3-based iGPU with up to 512 stream processors, and have DDR5/LPDDR5X memory support.
