Yuri Bubily said on Discord that Zen 6 Ryzen engineering samples had already reached AMD’s industry partners.

Bubily says Zen 6 could offer up to 12 cores per CCD and, with two CCDs, up to 24 cores and 48 threads.

Moore’s Law Is Dead reports AMD is testing Zen 6 desktop CPUs at 6.4 GHz, with over 7 GHz targeted on TSMC’s N2X node.

Both sources expect AM5 compatibility; a mid-to-late 2026 launch is indicated but remains unconfirmed.

Zen 6 will continue to use the AM5 socket, preserving upgrade paths for current Ryzen users.
