AMD has confirmed its next-gen client CPU & GPU families, Gorgon in 2026, Medusa in 2027, and next-gen gaming products.
AMD Client CPU Roadmap Shows Gorgon Point "Zen 5 Refresh" CPUs In 2026, Medusa Point "Zen 6" CPUs in 2027
2025 has been a solid year for AMD's Client division, with an estimated revenue of $10 billion, a 50% increase in CPU ASP, and a PC revenue share of around 28%. This is all due to AMD's strong Ryzen & Radeon offerings, but it doesn't stop here as 2026 will soon be upon us, and we can expect even more high-performance processor and graphics lineups from Team Red.
For the client side, AMD's SVP and general manager of the Computing and Graphics Group, Jack Huynh, presented the latest AI PC roadmap, which brings to light two new products, Gorgon and Medusa. AMD also states that its lineup is on track for >10x AI performance increase with Medusa processors, so let us talk a bit about these two products.
AMD's Gorgon Point CPUs will be launching in 2026, and are an interesting product in the regard that they are essentially a refresh of existing "Strix/Krackan" processors. Gorgon Point family will add a few new SKUs to the lineup, while retaining the Zen 5 CPU, RDNA 3.5 GPU, and XDNA 2 NPU architecture across all models.
This lineup will be replaced by the true next-gen offering, codenamed Medusa Point. The Medusa CPU line is expected to feature next-gen Zen 6 cores along with new GPU and XDNA IPs. Medusa will be one of the many Zen 6 families that will be launching, such as the EPYC Venice lineup and the high-end Ryzen desktop range, codenamed Olympic Range.
AMD's Gaming Roadmap Hints That RDNA Is Over With Next-Gen Architecture
In addition to the two CPU announcements as part of the new roadmap, AMD also reaffirmed that it will introduce its next-gen gaming GPU with next-gen AI and ray-tracing capabilities. While every previous gen is listed as an "RDNA" series part, AMD didn't use the "RDNA" naming for its next-gen gaming GPU, which means that the upcoming architecture will mark the end of the "RDNA" series and move to something entirely new.
As for the features to expect from AMD's next-gen gaming GPUs, the company has already highlighted a few things we will get with the next-gen architecture, such as Radiance Cores, Neural Arrays, and Universal Compression Engine. The same architecture will be used by gaming graphics cards and gaming consoles, so a lot of excitement surrounds this announcement, and we hope for more information on the respective family at CES 2026.
