AMD has for the first time confirmed that its next CPU architecture will be called AMD Zen 6, which will follow on from the Zen 5 launch in just two weeks. The company also confirmed that there’s a Zen 7 architecture in the works, which will follow on from Zen 6 several more years into the future.

The AMD CPU reveal came directly from the company itself at its recent AMD Tech Day event. Here, as well as talking about some more details of its upcoming Zen 5 CPUs – including showing off the 9950X overclock capabilities – it also looked ahead at its future CPU roadmap. While we’re a long way from these chips being earmarked for a place on our best gaming CPU guide, if AMD’s recent track record is a reliable yardstick, they’ll be strong contenders when they arrive.
