AMD Zen 6 rumours

[RBImGuy]

Don’t they’re covered in a protective glue material these days.

seems likely to protect the user from their own errors ...

12 core chiplet, low latency and high frequency. Awesome

But without Intel competition AMD will take their time

Intel is getting their sht back together. The new Core Ultras are ok.

I really hope this is a sign intel at least wants to fight back, we can't go back to the dark time of intel sticking a new number at the start of a cpu name and pushing out near identical silicon

They're having a pretty good 2026 so far, although a lot of that is based on AI-related stuff. We can only hope it feeds into the consumer market.

Intel seem to like the low hanging fruit, anything that requires effort they seem to half arse e.g. there attempt at discrete GPUS

feel like it will be time to upgrade in the next cycle but I really can't tell if this is the year to go red

According to "leaks" Zen 6 may not launch until early 2027 as it gives them more time to use that silicon for AI focused products.

Aye seemingly they have found a way to sell chips for AI where they would usually be rejected for broken cores and not working, so they're picking up sales for their scrap.
Good for the company, not great for the consumer.

 

[Toasty]

Yeah I think 2027, don't think anything this year will be the high end stuff.

Early 2027 was the most likely anyway!
Cant wait for these, Ive been due a new PC for a while

Id say the same but who knows what the prices will be like for components, I'd need ram as well

Best bet is to try nab certain parts when they go on sale or something at random points throughout the year like a case, PSU etc.
RAM might get lucky at some point during the year to nab a bit early as well
