Under Zen5 Tech Day, details about desktop processors were revealed. and mobile chips , AMD also shared plans regarding the release of future architectures — Zen 6 and Zen 6c.
AMD did not specify even approximate timelines for the announcement of products based on Zen 6 and Zen 6c, nor did it reveal what manufacturing processes will be used for these products. However, this is the first time the company publicly confirmed that Zen 6 will succeed Zen 5. AMD's CTO Mark Papermaster confirmed that the company is also already working on the architecture of Zen 7, which is being handled by a separate team of engineers, just like Zen 6.
From AMD's statements, it is clear that the architectures Zen 6 and Zen 6c will debut on the Socket AM5 platform. However, whether this platform will support Zen 7 chips or if this architecture will work with entirely new motherboards is unknown. AMD confirmed that it will support Socket AM5 until 2027 and beyond, guaranteeing compatibility for at least five years.
"We would like to clarify one of the comments made during the engineering roundtable. At that time, Joe mentioned support for the AM5 platform for four generations of CPUs. As we announced earlier at Computex, we are committed to supporting the AM5 platform until 2027 inclusive," AMD's press department stated.
There are 41 months left until the end of 2027. The transition from Zen 4 to Zen 5 took the company 22 months. If AMD intends to stick to the same cycle of launching new architectures, then Zen 6 will gain support for AM5, while Zen 7 may debut on a new platform.
According to ComputerBase, the next-generation platform (likely named AM6) will be introduced alongside the transition to DDR6 RAM and PCIe 6.0 interface.
Der er ingen officielle detaljer om Zen 6-arkitekturen. Ifølge rygter vil processorer baseret på den også have integreret grafik med den nye RDNA 5-arkitektur. Denne forventes at give et markant præstationsløft sammenlignet med RDNA 2, som anvendes i de nyeste Ryzen 9000 desktop-processorer. De nye arkitekturer vil også fokusere på acceleration af AI-opgaver: der forventes fremkomst af agentbaseret AI, konstant adgang til AI-funktioner, støtte til store sprogmodeller og meget mere.
