AMD's ZEN 5 architecture processor is expected to officially meet you in the second half of this year, but in addition to ZEN 5, it seems that AMD is also developing ZEN 6 architecture processors at the same time, so as to realize the advantages of Intel Core processors. There was previously news that AMD's Zen 6 processors would be equipped with high-performance GPUs, but now the news is even more appealing, that is, the ZEN 6 architecture GPUs will skip the yet-to-be-released RDNA 4 in favor of the more advanced RDNA 5 architecture.
At present, it is reported that AMD's research and development progress for a new generation of processors is far beyond everyone's imagination, in addition to the expected ZEN 5 architecture processor, including ZEN 6 architecture processor is also in full swing research and development, compared with ZEN 5 processor, ZEN 6 architecture processor will use the new 25D Interconnect Package, a total package technology that effectively consolidates the compute units in today's AMD processors, increasing transmission bandwidth while reducing latency.
What's more, the Zen 6 architecture processor will be equipped with the future RDNA 5 architecture GPU, and even skip RDNA 4 directly, which is very surprising, after all, the ZEN 5 processor is expected to use RDNA 2 or RDNA 35 architecture GPU, and ZEN 6 directly uses RDNA 5 architecture, obviously AMD wants to make a difference in the core display, of course, it is also possible that the RDNA 4 architecture has not improved much, which makes AMD a little disappointed.
In addition, Microsoft's outlook document for Xbox also confirms this, that is, Microsoft is comparing AMD's future processors, which mentions ZEN 6 and RDNA 5 architecture, so it is very likely that AMD's ZEN 6 processors are specially developed for the next generation of Xbox, with powerful graphics performance to achieve smooth operation of ray tracing games. After all, according to the development process, Microsoft is expected to launch the next generation of Xbox consoles in 2025-2026, and AMD's Zen 6 architecture processors will also be successfully developed and mass-produced, so as to escort the Xbox console.
