Ryzen CPUs: AMD takes a giant leap with Zen 6 architecture

As it seems, the AMD It is poised to achieve a huge leap in performance and energy efficiency, with… the next generation of processors.

Specifically, the alleged LinkedIn profile of a senior AMD engineer appears to have revealed some details about the processors Zen 6 company. According to Maraux David, who claims to have worked on the power management side of Zen 4, Zen 5, and Zen 6 processors, the Zen 6 architecture is internally codenamed Morpheus and It would be 2 nm lithography!

It’s unclear if AMD will continue using TSMC or switch to Samsung for production, but the jump is certainly impressive. Currently, the Zen 4 models on the market are 5nm. So, The jump to 2nm is expected to play a major role.

A smaller process node can enable more complex and robust chip design. As more transistors become available, designers can include more cores, a larger cache memory, and other advanced features that can increase performance. Secondly, a smaller process node can greatly increase the energy efficiency of the processor, allowing it to be used Less energywhile supplying better performance. This is because smaller transistors also have lower resistance and can therefore be switched on and off faster.

At the moment, AMD has not officially announced the Zen 6 architecture, but its release is expected 2025 at the earliestbased on the latest published roadmap for Zen 5 CPUs.

Speaking of Zen 5, AMD revealed some details. CPUs of this architecture are expected to be released in 2024 and will be manufactured at 3nm. AMD plans to use the Zen 5 architecture both in mainstream processors for the general public and in server models for the proprietary, but also in upcoming APUs with RDNA 3+ graphics. The company also plans to release models with Zen 5c cores, similar to the Intel cores found in 13th generation processors.
