AMD Watch posted an update
AMD architect Mike Clark has outlined further design changes in the upcoming Zen 6 and Zen 6c processor families in an interview with Chips and Cheese. The reported details include larger vector schedulers, more VNNI units for AI workloads and a faster branch predictor.
Why it mattersClark also described Zen 6c as a high-performance core with a full L3 cache implementation. That makes this more than a routine chip-spec tease: it points to changes in both AI-related processing and the smaller core design. The details are useful, though they are not performance results.
Discuss: Should buyers put more weight on architectural features such as VNNI and cache, or wait for independent workload benchmarks?
