Processors are moving towards chiplets (or tiles as per intel) so overclocking(tuning) ability gets harder since it is no longer monolithic unless intel gives us a monolithic P-core only like the rumoured Barlett which is still some way off (Q3'25 maybe? if true) then maybe you'll get better tuning abilities???
Anyway, below is a delidded Arrow Lake-S chip courtesy of Madness727. Take a look at the various tiles and differing nodes on differing tiles.
The compute tile, which houses the cores, is built on TSMC's advanced N3B node, while the GPU tile uses N5P, and the SoC and I/O tiles are based on the more mature N6 process. All five tiles are assembled on a base layer fabricated using Intel's 22nm FinFET technology. So yeah, no longer monolithic and of differing nodes.
To add to your reply, the hotspot has moved further north and there are offset kits to optimise the heat dissipation. I heard existing 1700 kits can be used but it would be 3-4 degrees worse because the hotspot is not the same as the earlier 12-14th gen CPUs.
