A Zen5 Tech Day event was held, where 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 provide even rough timelines for announcing products based on Zen 6 and Zen 6c, nor did it explain what technological processes would be used for producing 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 developing the Zen 7 architecture. Like Zen 6, this project is handled by a separate team of engineers.
From AMD's statements, it becomes clear that the Zen 6 and Zen 6c architectures will debut within the Socket AM5 platform. However, whether this platform will support Zen 7 chips or if this architecture will work with completely 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.
41 months remain until the end of 2027. The transition from Zen 4 to Zen 5 took the company 22 months. If AMD intends to maintain the same cycle for launching new architectures, Zen 6 will receive AM5 support, while Zen 7 may debut on a new platform.
According to ComputerBase, the new generation platform (likely named AM6) will be introduced alongside the transition to DDR6 memory and PCIe 6.0 interface.
Nincsenek hivatalos részletek a Zen 6 architektúráról. Pletykák szerint a rá alapuló processzorokban új RDNA 5 architektúrájú beépített grafika is lesz. Ez utóbbi lényeges teljesítménynövekedést ígér az RDNA 2-höz képest, amely a legújabb Ryzen 9000 asztali processzorokban található. Az új architektúrák szintén a mesterséges intelligencia feladatok gyorsítására fektetnek hangsúlyt: várható az ügynök-alapú mesterséges intelligencia megjelenése, a mesterséges intelligencia funkciók folyamatos elérhetősége, nagy nyelvi modellek támogatása és még sok más.
