AMD Zen 6 — 12 Cores in a Single CCD with the Same Size as Zen 5
Details about AMD's next-generation processors, the Zen 6 architecture, have leaked online. The fresh leaks suggest the company is preparing the most significant change to its processor structure since the first Ryzen: the number of cores in a single compute chiplet will increase by 50%, to 12 cores instead of 8.
Along with this, a single chiplet will be equipped not with 32 MB of cache, but with 48 MB (the amount of cache per core remains unchanged relative to Zen 5).
At the same time, the physical size of a single 12-core chiplet will remain almost identical to the 8-core chiplets of previous generations. This means that up to 24 cores in total could fit under the processor lid for the already existing AM5 socket.
