AMD Zen 6 rumours

[CAT-THE-FIFTH]

12 cores per chiplet and uses a bridge die underneath to reduce latency.

 

[Perfect_Chaos]

What RAM speed are we expecting for Zen 6? Too early to say?

Bridge die? So basically what Intel does

Probably.

Nice! Good to see the old IO die taken out to pasture.

Faster memory support and lower latency will be very nice.

Wouldn't surprise me if the bridge die is the 3d cache that can be accessed by both chiplets.

Going by what I've read so far I'm guessing around early to late 2026 then as AMD is in no rush to get anything out.

Might help the dual chiplet versions.

Probably because Intel is behind ATM.

Should I wait for this or get the 9950x3d?

What are you running now? This will be a couple of years yet.

From current info, Zen 6 is coming maybe late 2026 to early 2027 so it's a bit of a wait.

Ahh ok

3960x

3960x

Get on the 9800X3D train, It's smexy !

I'll be joining in a month or 2.

Is the 9800 as fast if not faster than my thread ripper?

For productivities like code compile, multi tasking, Adobe lightroom and premiere Pro work?

No it won't be, it's a 8 core/16 thread chip with very strong single core performance but your Threadripper will be more powerful in multithreaded loads. For a very rough idea R23 MT score for a 9800X3D is 23k vs 34k of the 3960X.

A 9950X would be a reasonable upgrade to your 3960X, a little faster in MT (R23 score is 42k) and a good bit faster in ST and much more efficient. 3D cache doesn't help a lot on your work loads. You would lose some of the workstation features (PCIE lanes/ability to run large amounts of memory).

For gaming it'll be better no questions asked but for programs that are highly multi threaded i.e big workloads, No.

Any clue if Zen 6 is AM5 yet?

Should be

 

[MyBrainz]

These CPUs are also expected to land on the same AM5 socket, which will be great for those who have invested in the latest motherboards.

AMD's Next-Gen Ryzen Zen 6 "Medusa Ridge" CPUs To Come In 12, 24 & 32 Core Flavors, Up To 128 MB L3 Cache

AMD's next-generation Ryzen CPUs based on the Zen 6 core "Medusa Ridge" architecture will pack increased core and cache counts.

Wonder if Zen 6 will be numbered as 10xxx or will they begin a different numbering scheme.
