AMD confirms Zen 6 and Zen 6c will arrive in 2025  but Intel is set to grab 
the fastest CPU server spot for the first time in a decade within weeks

Description:
AMD's Zen 6 processors will arrive in 2025, but Intel will take the CPU 
server market lead for the first time in a decade with Granite Rapids.

FULL STORY
======================================================================

AMD outlined its future plans at a recent event in Los Angeles, providing 
details on three architectures set for release in 2024: Zen 5, RDNA 3.5, and 
XDNA 2. 

The Zen 5 architecture, which is the next generation of AMDs CPU cores, is 
expected to offer a 16% improvement in instructions per clock (IPC) and a 33% 
increase in core count. It features improvements in several technical areas, 
including fetch and decode processes, as well as wider dispatch and execution 
engines coupled with enhanced cache bandwidth. 

AMD plans to offer both performance-oriented Zen 5 and area-optimized Zen 5c 
cores, pushing cost efficiency and simplified system management. Zen 6 in 
2025 

In terms of graphics, RDNA 3.5 offers a big update to the Radeon 780M with a 
performance boost of 19-32% compared to previous-generation Ryzen CPUs. 
ServeTheHome says, The AMD RDNA 3.5 is a significantly faster GPU IP block 
that takes learnings from AMDs license of GPU IP to Samsung for its mobile 
phones and brings that efficiency to the new integrated GPU. 

Additionally, AMD is pushing forward in the AI space with its XDNA 2 NPU 
built on Xilinx technology and integrated into the Ryzen AI 300 series of 
mobile processors, which also benefit from the new Zen 5 architecture and 
RDNA 3.5 graphics. 

AMDs dominance in the CPU server market faces a huge challenge from Intel, 
however. Its archrival is poised to take the lead there for the first time in 
a decade with its upcoming launch of the 128 P-core Granite Rapids-AP line, 
perhaps in time for Intel Innovation in September. 

Although we dont have confirmation yet, AMD's Turin family, underpinned by 
Zen 5 and Zen 5c, will likely arrive in time for Supercomputing 2024 in 
November. ServeTheHome points out that, This will be the first time in seven 
years that AMD and Intel will be at P-core count parity in the data center. 

AMD didnt have anything of note to say at the LA event about its 
next-generation Zen 6 processors first mentioned at Computex 2024. We still 
dont know much about the Zen 6 and Zen 6c architectures at the moment, only 
that they are still on track for a release in 2025. More from TechRadar Pro

rivals Nvidia and Intel when it comes to AI PCs
