It is increasingly difficult for companies to keep secret the news they have prepared for all their releases; some brands such as NVIDIA or AMD suffer a series of leaks almost daily that often really indicate what they are preparing for the new generations. But there are also other occasions in which it is not “leaks” that reveal a company’s plans, but rather rumors that may end up being right, and in this case a new rumor has emerged about what amd I would be planning to do with the new generation of processors Ryzen Zen 6as well as its new GPUs that would change architecture.
Although we can often find a large number of rumors about everything that a company has prepared, it is likely that most of the time they do not come from sources that we can consider reliable, since in the end until it is confirmed by an official source it will never be confirmed. We will know if it is true or not. But there are some leakers who tend to be right with practically everything they leak and with the rumors they publish, in this case the person from whom the information comes is a Chiphell user, Zhanzhonghao, who has been right in the vast majority of publications he has published. made about new technologies from big companies like AMD.
AMD would use the N3E process for Ryzen “Zen 6” and Radeon “UDNA” graphics
One of the first rumors that we have seen in the publication about AMD news is related to the change that the manufacturing of the new chips that will use both AMD processors and graphics will experience. In this case the company would have plans to start using the customized processes that TSMC has prepared for 3nm nodes, the N3E.
In this aspect, although the brand plans to use this process in the general architecture of the chips, the CPUs will have an IO matrix that will give rise to better capabilities of both I/O and iGPU, manufactured using the N4C process node, which will differ from Zen 4 and Zen 5 since these two use the same one. On the other hand, there are certain previous reports that suggest that the range of CPUs called “Medusa”, the first architecture based on Zen 6would maintain compatibility with the socket AM5 and they could arrive at the end of 2026 or beginning of 2027.
In addition to the CPUs there are also rumors about the next graphics of the brand, the UDNA which will replace the current RDNA and CDNA families with a unified architecture based on the N3E process technology that we have previously discussed in the gaming product variant. But another of the rumors that has surprised us is that the highest possible performance options could return. It is estimated that the GPU UDNA will enter mass production during the second quarter of 2026, with a renewed architectural design that will also reach Sony’s next console, the PS6.
Rumor: PS6 will be the first console with 3D stacking
As we have mentioned previously, one of the most important aspects that the new architecture of GPU that amd plans to develop is the fact that it will also be the one that comes to the next console sony to offer much higher performance. In this aspect we could see how this model manages to surpass the performance that the PS5 Pro currently has by far, since it would not only incorporate a completely renewed graphic architecture, but also other key aspects such as 3D stacking.
Although in this aspect the leaker does not go into detail about what type of 3D stacking we will see in this console, which implies that it could refer either to how the cores themselves are built or to the incorporation of the technology. 3D V-Cachewhich would also reach the “Halo” variant of processors AMD. The arrival of the technology used by the Ryzen PS6 could become the console more powerful of the market by far.
