AIDA64 software hints at AMD Zen 6 CPU launch timing. The hardware monitoring tool added support for next generation processors. Both desktop and server chips appeared on the support list. AMD appears ready to release these processors within the next year. The company has already started preparing development work.
Desktop chips will use the Medusa Ridge codename. Mobile processors carry the Medusa Point name. Server chips will be called EPYC Venice processors. AIDA64 beta version 7.99.7801 first showed this support. The latest version 7.99.7805 came out on June 5th.
Software companies typically add CPU support about one year before launch. Zen 6 processors should arrive between 10 and 13 months from today. Desktop versions will keep the same AM5 socket design. Mobile chips will move to the larger FP10 socket format. This represents a change from the current FP8 socket size.
Medusa Ridge desktop CPUs will break the traditional 8-core limit per chip cluster. Each cluster can hold up to 12 cores for the first time. Dual cluster designs will support up to 32 total cores. The processors will feature 128 MB of L3 cache memory. Mobile Medusa Point chips will also offer 12 cores using chiplet technology.
