AMD announced the new model alongside its latest graphics driver update. The card was mentioned in the driver changelog and is now listed on AMD’s official website. The company has confirmed that this model will not be available for the DIY market, meaning it may not be listed by all retailers (although some units will likely appear on the open market).

Bits and Chips shared some interesting information from their sources. Apparently, despite increasing the pin count for AMD’s next-next-gen desktop CPUs, the socket size may remain similar enough to support existing coolers. According to the site, the total pin count will exceed 2100 pins (22% more than AM5). The socket is said to be similar in size and layout to the existing AM5 socket, which also suggests AMD is not moving away from its current LGA design.

The site claims the pin density will be even higher than AM5, and the socket will support the Zen 7 architecture. Many believe that the launch of AM6 will be tied to the availability of DDR6 memory, which this platform is expected to support. Additionally, AM6 would be AMD’s first platform with PCIe 6.0 support.

>> That more or less confirms that Zen6 will launch on AM5 and that it will be the last new architecture for the platform.
