AMD plans to pack more power into their next computer chips with a design called Zen 6. The company wants to stack cache memory like layers of a cake to boost performance. These new processors will hold 192 MB of cache memory per section compared to just 64 MB on current Zen 5 chips. Engineers moved the cache under the main processing cores to help them run faster. This change does make the chips use more electricity though.
The new Zen 6 processors will jump from 8 cores to 12 cores per section. Cache memory will also grow from 32 MB to 48 MB to handle the extra workload. AMD might stack two layers of their special 3D cache technology to feed all those cores. Desktop computers will likely start with just one layer of the stacked cache...
