Next-Gen Ryzen Desktop CPUs with Zen6 cores to fature 10 and 20-core variants

AMD’s next desktop Ryzen family, codenamed “Olympic Ridge” and based on Zen 6, is being linked to a wider set of core-count options than recent generations.

According to the post from HXL, the single-chiplet options would include 6, 8, 10, and 12 cores. The dual-chiplet parts listed are 16 cores (8+8), 20 cores (10+10), and 24 cores (12+12).

Previous leaks have mentioned that AMD is finally upgrading the CCD (Core Complex Die) die with more cores. Not only will the new CCD have newer architecture, but also each tile die will come with 50% more cores than Zen1-Zen5 variants. What this means is that each CCD will now offer up to 12-core Zen 6 cores paried with 48 MB of L3 cache per chiplet, which would make a dual-CCD desktop part a 24-core, 96 MB L3 configuration before any 3D V-Cache variants. This is still rumor-level information, but it matches the kind of 12+12 split described in the new core-count list.

More cores on AM5 socket

As of right now, AMD has not given the new desktop series a name, so we are calling them the Ryzen 10000 series or Olympic Ridge. It appears that the series will continue to support desktop sockets from the current generation.

If AMD does add 10-core and 20-core desktop parts, that would create new steps between existing mainstream tiers, which today typically jump from 8 to 12 to 16 cores at the top end.
