AIDA64 gives an unofficial confirmation of the AMD Zen 6 CPUs' release date. Both client and server CPUs have been added to the support list.

AMD Zen 6 Desktop and Mobile CPUs Added to AIDA64 Support: Both Lineups are Expected to Launch Next Year

AMD has already begun preparing for the Zen 6-based chips, as confirmed by various reports, including t he latest Zen 6 patch for Linux, which has been queued recently . AIDA64 is yet another platform that confirmed AMD's next-gen CPUs, which include both Client and Server Zen 6 chips, but more importantly, hints at the possible launch period.

The software, which is a popular hardware monitoring tool, has added preliminary support for these CPUs, as spotted by . The AIDA64 Extreme beta version 7.99.780 1 adds support for these CPUs, but at the moment, you will only find the 7.99.780 5 version, dated 5th June. So, the only evidence is the screenshot provided by the leaker.

We can see that the AIDA64 now has the pre-release information on the Zen 6 chips, which will include the Medusa Ridge desktop, Medusa Point mobile, and the EPYC Venice processors. As far as the launch date is concerned, the addition of a newer CPU series to the AIDA64 database usually points to a release date that is often a year later. So, one should expect anywhere between 10–13 months from now before they can see the Zen 6 CPUs on the market.

The desktop Zen 6 processors are likely to retain the same AM5 socket, while the Medusa Point is expected to be deployed on the FP10 socket, which is a bit bigger than the FP8 used for Strix Point . AMD's Zen 6 desktop CPUs, aka Medusa Ridge, are the first to offer up to 12 cores in a single CCD and will allow up to 32 cores in a dual Zen 6C CCD configuration, offering up to 128 MB of L3 cache. So, basically, Zen 6 will finally break that traditional 8-core CCD barrier we had in all the existing Ryzen series.

On the other hand, the Medusa Point for mobile will offer 12 cores using a chiplet-based design and will retain the existing RDNA 3.5+ architecture for its iGPU, which has been confirmed by previous reports .
