AMD Zen 6 rumours

I believe that Zen 6 is still on AM5. It all seems rather expensive to me. The current cpu's are too expensive as it is so we don't need it getting any more expensive.

I think AMD's high end (none 3D) chips offer the best value. The mid and low end seem to offer a lot less value. Intel mid and low end seem a lot better. I would never buy a 3D version as it offers very little benefit for me at a lot higher price.

AMD's big-little is different, all the cores support the same instructions, the only difference is power, cache and design density. This should make it simpler to manage(in software), maybe...

Intel's big littles also have a common instruction set. It's the only way Big Little can work on current operating systems. That's why the big cores had AVX-512 turned off.

They are not the same implementation. The AMD "little cores" are the same basic design but built with high density libraries and less cache. The Core IPC is the same, but the difference in performance is due to the different amount of cache and lower clockspeeds. This is why they are called Zen4c and Zen5c.

The Intel design uses two different cores,which are not closely related to each other.

I never said they were.
 
Should still be on AM5, probably the last gen on it. Those rumors are juicy though 10%IPC, 12core CCD 6Ghz+ and potentially double stacked cache.
