Zen 6 ("Morpheus" )[ 1] is the name for an upcomingCPU microarchitecture from AMD, shown on their roadmap in July 2024.[ 2] [ 3] It is the successor toZen 5 ("Nirvana" ) and is believed to useTSMC 's3 nm and2 nm processes. Desktop processors will be codenamed"Medusa" under the Ryzen 10000 name,[ 1] whileEpyc server processors will be codenamed"Venice" .[ 4]
Zen 6 is expected to release in 2026.[ 5]
Like with the previous twoZen generations, Zen 6 will come in the standard variant, as well as a high-core-density variant namedZen 6c ("Monarch" ).[ 1]
