AMD is currently working on two main architectures: Zen 5 Nirvana and Zen 6 Morpheus. These processors are expected to represent a significant upgrade to the Zen architecture in terms of performance and packaging.
The Zen 5 architecture will debut this year in Granite Ridge and Strix Point processors. According to rumors, the first of the series will have the same RDNA 2 video core as the Raphael chips. On the other hand, Strix Point will get a powerful integrated graphics solution with Navi 3.5 (RDNA 3.5) design.
According to insiders, the next Zen 6 client architecture, codenamed “Medusa”, will be a major change for AMD: the company is rumored to use 2.5 interconnects instead of the traditional multi-die design. Such a layout should improve the speed of bandwidth between the chips in the processor.
Also, according to whistleblower Everest (@Olrak29_), the company plans to use RDNA 5 graphics for Zen 6 client processors. This probably means that AMD will skip the RDNA 4 generation of graphics solutions.
Not much is known about AMD RDNA 5 (Navi 5), but official Microsoft documents mentioned this graphics card as a candidate for the next generation console GPU.
AMD’s Zen 6 client architecture is rumored to use a smaller process (perhaps a mix of 3nm and 2nm), these processors should be expected no earlier than 2025-2026.
