According to new leaks by the renowned leaker Moore’s Law Is Dead, AMD Zen 6 is expected to offer up to three different variants upon its launch, which has not yet been given an exact date. In addition to detailing these new variants, the leaker also remarked on positive changes in this technology, including a new memory controller.

In September 2023, Moore’s Law Is Dead leaked that Zen 6 processors, codenamed “Morpheus”, could utilize 3nm and 2nm processing nodes and were projected to debut in mid-2025. It was also noted that there would be technological advancements in the cores of the Ryzen desktop chips, which would feature 32 cores.
According to recent leaks, AMD is expected to finalize the design of AMD Zen 6 products around the third quarter of 2024. However, the leaker believes that the official launch of the product should be pushed to 2026, as Team Red does not know “how many of the family will be 2nm” precisely.
The leak also reveals that the three models will be: Standard, Dense Classic, and Client Dense. The Standard model, as its name suggests, is simply the basic version of this new desktop architecture but with a higher frequency.
The Dense Classic model is akin to the Zen4c line and potentially Zen 5c. In this scenario, AMD’s Zen 4c cores can occupy half the space of normal Zen 4 CPU cores, yet they maintain the same underlying architecture.
In essence, Zen 4c cores are identical to Zen 4 but with less L3 cache and reduced clocks to ensure space savings.
Moreover, “Client Dense” takes the Xc formula to a new level by increasing its core count. However, the processor suffers from a power penalty. Zen 6 is expected to undergo a “redesign almost from scratch” compared to Zen 5, along with a new Execution Scheduler.
The AMD Zen 6 line is anticipated to take several more years to debut. In the meantime, AMD has been focusing on other projects, particularly those involving AI.
