AMD Zen 6 Discussion

That being said, it would be very sad if Medusa Halo doesn't become a thing. An upgraded Strix Halo sounds kinda neat actually.

There are now 2 medusa halos

1. Medusa halo (OG or mega) with 384bit? lpddr6 & 48 CU rdna 5
2. Medusa halo premium (mini) with 128bit lpddr6 & 24 CU — supposedly drop in replacement for strix halo on same socket
3. Medusa point + optional cpu CCD — replacement for strix point premium
4. Medusa point — replacement for strix point budget & kracken

Details in MLID video linked below

Looks like I am wrong on Lisa Su not releasing a 'budget' gpu next gen — a 3060 12gb replacement could be incoming (using cheaper & slower lpddr6 ram)

We now have the full RDNA 5 lineup

1. AT0 (>5090) — 144 CU to 192? CU (384 bit gddr7 to 512 bit gddr7)
2. AT1 — scrapped ?
3. AT2 (~5080) — 72? CU (192 bit gddr7 = shared with xbox) — there could be cut down versions
4. AT3 (~5070?) — 48 CU (384bit lpddr6) — shared with medusa halo mega
5. AT4 (~3060 12gb +) — 24 CU (128bit lpddr6) — shared with medusa halo mini

when not running four DIMMs / two DIMMs per channel.

Had to share... listening to some eminem (new truck new sound system wheee!) so this actually sounded like a .. bar.. I believe is what it is called. four DIMMS Two Dimms, all the DIMMS for meee!!

It varies from one application to the next. While it would be absolutely fantastic for AMD to hit DDR5-8000 1:1, it won't be a total loss if they don't. That being said, if 1:2 becomes standard for Zen6, speeds in excess of 8000 should be easily attainable for tuners.

Heck... DDR5 MT12000 incoming!!! in that case.

I think the 'sponsored' XOC guys have hit that high

DDR5-10K seems to be within the realm of reason for the memory itself for retail release. The question is where the memory controllers + motherboards are. As I'm basing this on TeamGroup already selling DDR5-9600 CUDIMMs on Newegg.
