Content creator and extreme overclocker Tony Yu had the rare privilege of being one of (if not the) first people to delid one of AMD's brand new Ryzen 9000 processors, which will contend with the best CPUs. Sadly, the content creator revealed photos of his delidding attempt failing, resulting in a cracked and broken Zen 5 CPU.
The Zen 5 chip can be seen with the IHS removed from the CPU. The exposed die shot reveals the unsuccessful delid, revealing a cracked I/O die on the Ryzen chip and an unclean break on the IHS, with material still mated to the soldering points that shouldn't be where the I/O die would be located.
