In 2019, AMD started a new paradigm in processor design, with its Zen 2 architecture and the use of chiplets. Since then, every CCD or Core Complex Die has been home to eight cores—no more, no less. However, if one tech leaker is to be believed, then Zen 6 will mark a new era for AMD, as it's being claimed that the next generation of CCDs will sport 12 cores each.
The leaker in question is Moore's Law is Dead and yes, I know. Buckets of salt. Press X to doubt. Pigs will fly. Cats and dogs, living together. All those things. Anyway, the claim that Zen 6 CCD will be a 12-core design was announced in its latest YouTube video and I have to admit that the images purporting to be for a next-gen laptop APU, showing the larger CCDs, do look a bit like a quickly-knocked-up render.
