With all the processor news of late being focused on Intel's new Panther Lake chips and its forthcoming Nova Lake monsters, it would be perfectly understandable if you'd completely forgotten about AMD and its next-gen Zen 6 architecture. If you have, then don't worry, because one cryptic message from a well-known leaker suggests we're in for a treat.

The person in question is HXL on X, who has a pretty good track record of dropping snippets about CPUs and GPUs that turn out to be spot on later down the line. Their latest missive is quite brief, though, comprising just two lines: "6 8 10 12" and "8+8 10+10 12+12."
