- CPU Zen 6 now have “preliminary support” in a system monitoring tool
- In general, this support comes into play around 12-18 months before launch
- Given that, we could be looking at the Zen 6 chips that go on sale at the end of 2026
AMD Zen 6 desktop processors are more completely on radar now, since chips have been mentioned in popular software, hinting that may not be too far.
Things have been quite calm around the next -generation Ryzen chips to date, but the Zen 6 range has just appeared in AIDA64, a broadly used tool for monitoring and diagnosis (which offers a famous stress test for CPUs).
As Tom Vio hardware, HXL published in X to share the version notes for the new beta version of AIDA64, which states that it provides “preliminary support” for next -generation AMD desktop processors (and laptops).

This is only the basis for supporting the next range of CPU Ryzen, but suggests that the Ryzen 9000 of AMD processors are intertwined before what the rumor factory previously believed.
In general, this type of early support for a new range of CPU will reach AIDA64 around 12 to 18 months before silicon is available to buy.
Analysis: A new Gaming Champ CPU on the horizon?
That means that we could possibly witness AMD reveal its Zen 6 desktop processors in Computex 2026, in about a year, perhaps before a launch date by the end of 2026, or perhaps at the beginning of 2027. These chips are modified in Codeusa Medusa Ridge, and their sur Ryzen 9000, which has 8 corees.
If that is true, and it is considerable YeahOf course, we could see the conventional X3D processor for the next generation offers 12 nuclei that are driven by the 3D V-Cache (in a single chiplet), which makes it a potentially heavy games offer. The current battle horse Ryzen 9800x3D has 8 nuclei that can take advantage of that crucial cache, and yes, the Ryzen 9 x3D upper level chips still have more nuclei, but do not forget that only half of those nuclei have access to the cache in V 3D (as only one of the two chiplets of these CPUS is placed).
In theory, the name of the next AMD desktop CPU series will be Ryzen 10000, although given the possibility of confusing that with Ryzen 1000, it may be possible that the network equipment can divert to another name convention.
Finally, it is worth making it clear that I am talking about the arrival period for desktop processors here, no mobile chips. It is rumored that APUS for laptops is called Medusa Point, and they will probably not debut until some time after the desktop offerings terrify, but they hope they are equally promising.
