The APU found in the OG PS4 underwent a node shrink on the GPU side, and Sony did 2 things with it- Took the smaller die, which is cheaper to mass produce, easier to power and cool, and made the PS4 Slim, then they took the smaller process, and made a newer version of the APU the same physical size as OG's, but with more graphical prowess because more can be crammed into that space.

 

There's no Crossfire like solution. No disabling cores or resources. If the software isn't held back by artificial limitations, it uses the power of the Pro's APU.

It's the same concept as running an extremely demanding new game vs a moderate old game on a Titan XP, new game has the Titan XP running full speed, old game has the XP sitting on it's ass and still delivering dynamite results.

As they commission the chips AMD "produces", that would not be sold or even made otherwise. As neither actually manufacture the chip, and it's Sony's name on the die, not AMD's. As Sony made the decision to keep the die size the same in the Pro, after a node shrink, to pack more power.

Basically, Sony bought the rights to designs for the Jaguar APUs, commission the chips from the same fabs AMD uses, and kicks money AMD's way for allowing them to do so.

It's called crossfire.

amd wants to crossfire but in the same interposer so that latency and gpu to gpu bandwidth can be increased a lot
