Rumor: AMD Zen 6 Processors Could Arrive in Configurations Ranging from 6 Up to 24 Cores

There's still no official word from AMD regarding its Zen 6 desktop lineup, so rumors continue to circulate suggesting a wide range of configurations.

If I can go from 16 cores to 24 as a drop in... and maintain or increase per core max speeds.. I could be interested.

Could be the first halo consumer CPU ever to do 6 GHz all core.

All aboard the Zen 6 hype train!

LOL, yea.... at least then I might have a reason for my 1300 watt power supply. It was SUPPOSED to be to drive a 5090.... but yea...

I'll be happy with a 16 core X3D part. Ought to be good enough for me to ride off into the sunset with as I can't imagine needing to replace something like that for around a decade and by that time I might not even care.

reason for my 1300 watt power supply

That's something I'm considering but hoping I don't need to do. Between the undervolted 5090 settings I'm using, and 9800X3D, my current system TDP usually hangs around 300-500W during heavy gaming and I'm using an ITX 1000W 80+ Platinum but I've been keeping an eye on the 1200-1300 versions which have started coming out in the last year or so. I know can undervolt the 9800X3D but it rarely uses more than 70W and mostly eats 30-50W so much to gain there. However, a 16-core monster could be another story.
