Ryzen 10000 Series in the Works: What We Know So Far (June 3, 2025)
Next-gen AMD desktop processors, Zen 6 Ryzen, detected in AIDA64's latest software beta, gaining 'initial support'.
Exciting news for tech enthusiasts as AIDA64, a popular system utility developers' software, has added preliminary support for upcoming AMD desktop, server, and mobile processors. This could likely include the rumored Ryzen 10000 series processors, given AMD's naming patterns.
However, it's essential to temper enthusiasm. Historically, such announcements occur around a year before a product's release, which suggests that the Ryzen 10000 chips might not hit the markets until mid-2026 or possibly during Computex 2026.
Zen 6 Architecture Desktop Processors: Medusa Ridge
As for what we can expect from the Ryzen 10000 series on the desktop side, leaked information points to Zen 6 architecture processors codenamed Medusa Ridge. If these rumors hold true, these CPUs will continue to be compatible with the AM5 socket, much to the delight of AM5 platform adopters.
The next-generation Ryzen chips may also make a significant leap by moving to 12-core chiplet dies (CCDs), providing a substantial boost for consumers. AMD is rumored to be using TSMC's N3P (3 nm-class) process for its Zen 6-based products in 2026. Anti-aliasing fans will be pleased to know that AMD's 3D V-Cache packing processors may also be a part of the Ryzen 10000 series, gracing us with the X3D subfamily.
Medusa Point for Mobile Processors
In the mobile arena, there are rumors swirling about the Medusa Point processors, supposedly equipped with up to 22 hybrid cores under the Zen 6 architecture. These chips, though, are expected to be released even later, with a potential launch window sometime in late 2026 or early 2027. AMD is planning to launch the Gorgon Point (a Strix Point refresh) family in the interim, delaying the Medusa Point processors further.
Stay tuned for more updates on the development of AMD's next-gen Ryzen processors. In the meantime, catch up on our Ryzen 7 9800X3D review to explore the performance potential of AMD's current gaming powerhouses.
