We have the first images exposed of the next chips AMD ZEN 6 MEDUSA POINT and Olympic Ridgefor the laptops and desktop segment, respectively.
AMD ZEN 6: Exclusive images of the Medusa Point and Olympic Ridge matrix
Based on the information of Moore's Law Is Deadwe can appreciate the matrices of the next generation AMD Zen 6 processors Medusa Point For the laptops and Olympic Ridge For the desktop computers.
As for the Medusa Pointthis would have a BGA with a size similar to the current Strix Point, while the Olympic Ridge I would use the same am5 socket.
The CCD “Zen 6” is being designed for a process node of 3 Nm. The manufacturer will not be confirmed, but it is believed that it will be TSMC With its own process N3E. Each CCD It will have up to 12 nuclei, and these 12 nuclei are part of a single complex of CPU nuclei (CCX) and share an L3 cache. There is talk that the size of the cache would increase to about 48 MB.

This laptops would use A single 12 core chiplet with a great I/O chip that would use a process node other than the principal (N4P). It is said that a Integrated RDNA 4 of 16 CUand would also contain a memory controller and an improved NPU unit.

In this matrix it can be noted that in the I/O section there are rectangular structures that could be cores Zen 6c more focused on efficiency.
«Olympic Ridge»
This would use the same CCD as Medusa Point, but AMD I could be adding memories 3D V-Cache With a configuration similar to reality with the series Ryzen 9000.
The amount of CCD would be two in this case, so we can expect variants of up to 24 nuclei instead of 16 maximum cores that we currently see for the Ryzen series.
It is very possible with a new memory controller, we can see DDR5 memories work with speeds 1: 2 of 10,000 mt/s. In addition, there is talk of the implementation of a 50 tops NPU unit.
At the moment, this is what we know in broad strokes. The processors and Apu Zen 6 would be launched in 2026. We will keep you informed.
