The latest AIDA64 Extreme stable version has explicitly listed the AMD Zen 6 lineup in its database, indicating AMD's preparation for the next-generation processors.
AIDA64 Extreme 7.700.7500 Rolled Out with Preliminary Support for Zen 6 Desktop, Mobile, and Server Processors
Last month, the popular hardware monitoring tool, AIDA64 Extreme, added support for the next-gen AMD processors but didn't explicitly state whether it was the refreshed Zen 5 family for the desktop, aka Ryzen 9000G, or the upcoming Zen 6-based processors. However, with the stable release of version 7.700.7500, which rolled out today, the software has explicitly stated that it has added preliminary support for AMD Zen 6.
These will be the Zen 6 desktop, mobile, and server processors, which are scheduled for a 2026 launch. While this indicates AMD's progress on the Zen 6 processors, it doesn't reveal any information on the release date. Usually, when AIDA64 Extreme adds support for upcoming GPUs or CPUs, the release typically occurs a year later. This coincides with earlier reports that Zen 6 is confirmed for a 2026 launch and will likely be launched in the second half.
AMD Zen 6 does pop up here and there in leaks, but not much is officially confirmed when it comes to the specifications. Some reports suggest that AMD's Zen 6 desktop CPUs will bring up to 12 cores on a single CCD and the flagship CPU can bring up to 32 cores. The mobile lineup, which is also known by its codename, Medusa Point, is going to transition to a bigger FP10 socket and will feature RDNA 3.5-based integrated graphics.
As for the server lineup, the EPYC Venice CPUs, AMD has confirmed that the series will bring up to 256 Cores and will offer significantly better generational uplifts. The series is going to bring up to 16 CCDs with Zen 6C variants while the classic processors with Zen 6 architecture will have up to 8 CCDs and will feature up to 96 cores.
Now coming to the AIDA64 Extreme support, we also see the Radeon RX 9060 Non-XT GPU being added to the database, indicating that AMD is likely going to release a RX 7600 successor. It should be another 8 GB card based on the NAVI 44 die and should fall in the $250-$300 price tag. Apart from that, the software has also added preliminary support for Intel Wildcat Lake CPUs, which usually don't appear in leaks as often as other lineups. Wildcat Lake will be the successor to the Alder Lake-N CPUs and will be used in low-powered devices such as laptops and mini-PCs. We reported about it last year, but unfortunately, not much is known about the specifications of these SKUs.
