According to a new filtration, the next chips AMD ZEN 6 MEDUSA POINT/RIDGE/HALO and Range could share the same CCD
AMD ZEN 6 Medusa will have 12 cores per CCD and will be part of Point/Ridge/Halo and Range
AMD He wants to simplify the entire design process of his next processors and APU using the same CCD (Core complex die) based on architecture Zen 6. Each of these CCDs contain about 12 cores each, an important change with respect to the previous architectures that had 8 cores per CCD.
With the increase in nuclei for each CCD, processors will be designed with a greater amount of total nuclei. In this way, Medusa Point is expected to have a single CCD, while Medusa Ridge would have two CCD for a total of 24 cores.
We recommend our guide on the best market processors
Filtrator information TB303 Devilish It tells us that the same CCD will be used in four products: Medusa Ridge, Medusa Point, Medusa Halo and Medusa Range. Although obviously there will be other differences, such as the socket used, the size of the encapsulated, IOD matrices, etc.
INDEED, 4 PRODUCTS (HALO/RANGE/DT/POINT1) SHOUR SHARE THE SAME N2 CCD.

Both desktop processors and laptops would have a Chiplet type design and nuclei would be adopting TSMC N2 process node. We are always talking about the Ryzen processors series, and there is no mention to EPYC processors with Zen 6 nuclei, which already belongs to another category. Nor would those models with 3D V-Cache memories be taken into account.
Zen 6 processors of AMD are expected to be launched in 2026. We will keep you aware of all the news.
