AMD Zen 6 rumours

[Purgatory]

So still using DDR5 RAM.. Was hoping DDR6 but let's see when they talk about Ryzen and hopefully that may introduce a new DDR6 platform but doubt it with how fast DDR5 is getting.. and they will want to keep the inflated price of DDR5 and the shortages going..12 core CCD is so far most interesting thing. So 24 proper cores and 48 threads. Apart from that a bit boring so far. Fingers crossed it will be a good update when it hits desktop Ryzen. Server stuff was interesting to me as I do a lot of that for clients. But it's getting very expensive to the point clients only wanting what they have currently to keep working and only updating when things fail and not related to A.I workloads as most have no real interests in it for their work and dabble with it in the cloud if they do.

Couldn't care less about DDR6, DDR5 is expensive enough and DDR6 will most likely be even more ridiculously priced. Building a pc is already far too expensive without adding to the costs, I feel sorry for anyone wanting to get into the hobby these days. I can understand businesses only upgrading when something breaks and that is what I am doing now as a home user so it makes even more sense for a business.

I don't think DDR6 is required yet. Zen5 optimal memory was like 6000 or 6200. We now have DDR5 up at 7200 and even higher. Being able to take advantage of that is what Zen6 should be doing.
Plus I believe the memory interfaces have been improved, so should cut down latency considerably which will also help.

"The Zen 6 Family improves upon its predecessor in various ways, an upgraded frontend allows one thread to utilize both decoders, while a faster branch predictor makes it more forgiving on misses, all tied together with larger OoO structures allowing it to better hide memory stalls. All of this coming together to provide a generational uplift from Zen 5."

Unless they don't want to sell more than 3, depending how many LtMatt buys of course, they couldn't possibly release it using DDR6.

APU performance would be amazballz. A 100 watt 24 thread APU with 50+ TFLOPs would change everything.

Yeah, there's no way I'm buying a new CPU + Ram, CPU is bad enough.

DDR5 on Ryzen 6 is rare tech good news.
