Leaker claims AMD Zen 6 will feature 48MB of L3 cache — keeping L3 cache-to-core ratio the same as Zen 5 with Zen 6's 12-core CCD

Ryzen 7000 CPU.

A leaker has said that AMD's upcoming Zen 6 CPU architecture will feature a bigger L3 cache, compared to Zen 5, to compensate for the architecture's supposed larger 12-core CCD design. Resident leaker HXL on X claims that Zen 6 will feature 48MB of L3 cache, keeping the L3 cache-to-core ratio the same as in previous generations.

HXL also claims that Zen 6 will feature a larger footprint for the die itself, likely due to the extra cores being added to each CCD. Zen 6 will allegedly sport a 76mm² die, which is 7% larger than Zen 5's 71mm² die. In fact, if this info is true, Zen 6 will be the first architecture to have a larger footprint than its predecessors since Zen 3.
