The upcoming Zen 6 AMD processors will remain compatible with AM5, but they have a novel processor design based on chiplet and significantly enhance the number of core on desktop computers and laptops, according to sources Chiphelland also Moore’s law is dead. Premium processors for players will also be equipped with V 3D cache.
Ryzen processors in the next generation AMD based on Zen 6 microarchitecture will have 12-core dying chiplet matrices (CCDS), which means a stern shift from the eight-core CCD used in Zen 3/4/5 generation processors, if related reports are true. As a result, AM5 computer processors will be able to contain up to 24 cores. Meanwhile, the advanced APU laptop will go from the Four Zen 5 Eight Zen 5C (8+4) configuration to the 12-core structure, at least according to MLID. Zen 6 CCD has 75 mm^2 huge, mlid claims.
Now the increased number of cores is a great matter. However, the premium versions of AMD computer processors will have up to 96 MB of L3 cache, which is 4 MB per core. 4 MB per core is in line with existing Zen 5 configurations, so AMD does not limit cache in favor of the number of cores.
AMD is expected to release products based on Zen 6 in 2026, so it is reasonable to expect that they will employ a more advanced node than today (class 4nm TSMC), so think that N3P (2NM) TSMC (2NM-class).
Ryzens based on AMD Zen 6 for game computers will also be equipped with v 3D cache. Some laptop processors with built -in graphics will also be equipped with v 3D cache, although the exact configuration is something that remains to see.
AMD Medusa Point and Medusa Ridge
Interestingly, and according to MLID the standard APU AMD will be based on chiplet, a departure from the monolithic approach. Medusa Point-Laptop APU-MA include CCD ZEN 6 with 12 cores and matrix I/O 200 mm^2 (IOD), containing eight RDNA working groups, 128-bit memory controller and a huge NPU. There is speculation that you can add infinity cache to enhance GPU efficiency.
MLID also claims that the computer version of Medusa Point-rodly called Medus Ridge-will be used for two 12-core CCD Zen 6 in the AM5 form. This product will have 155 mm^2 IOD without advanced built -in GPU, but maybe with a huge NPU.
