AMD To Continue High-Performance Journey With Next-Gen Zen 6 & Zen 6C CPU Cores For Desktops, Laptops, Servers

AMD has officially confirmed its next-gen cores after Zen 5 & Zen 5C to be Zen 6 & Zen 6C, which will continue its high-performance journey.

AMD Officially Confirms Zen 6 & Zen 6C As The Next Chapter In The Zen Journey

Well, we haven't seen Zen 5 or the latter, Zen 5C, in full action yet but AMD has officially confirmed the next big Zen architecture. Codenamed Zen 6 and its density-optimized variant, Zen 6C, these two architectures will push the performance and efficiency envelope further across a range of PC platforms such as desktops, laptops, handhelds, and servers.

AMD hasn't confirmed any specifics yet but they have made it official that Zen 6 and Zen 6C are the next two major architectures following the Zen 5 family. Codenamed Morpheus, the Zen 6 CPU will bring even better performance to the table. With the Zen 5 CPUs being made on 4nm and Zen 5C on 3nm, we can expect the company to leverage more advanced process technologies from TSMC for its Zen 6 family.

Based on what we know so far, the AMD Zen 6 & Zen 6C CPUs will go on to power next-gen families such as the 6th Gen EPYC "Venice" lineup which is expected to feature support on a brand new SP7 platform and adopt up to 16-channel memory configurations. The Zen 6 architecture will also find home in the next-gen Ryzen AI APU lineup codenamed Medusa which is expected to feature newer RDNA GPU cores and adopt a 2.5D interconnect for increased bandwidth. The architecture will also be adopted by the next-gen high-performance desktop family replacing the Ryzen 9000 "Granite Ridge" so expect an update there too.

In a previous report, we covered how AMD's Zen 6 CPUs will come in three brand new CCD configs, offering 8, 16, and up to 32 cores. Having 16 or 32 cores on a single CCD in next-gen AMD Zen-powered CPUs is going to be great for multi-threaded use cases, especially within the Threadripper and
