Question Zen 6 Speculation Thread

N1X isn’t a threat IMO, it comes with stock ARM cores from 2024.

point being there's more comp than just Intel in the market now.

It has the green badge and actually useful GPU IP, plus Mediatek is doing the SoC engineering as NV is not good at that.
I'm sure they are having fun writing AArch64 gaming drivers.

Glymur at the least CPU side is going to very good but it won’t come out till H12026. Medusa will likely launch mid by 2026.

Medusa (mobile) is CES'27, desktop and server is H2'26
And yes they are the ones with the good CPU IP.

Nothing like a loss of market share or revenue to move these companies. If QC/NV can manage to win share in PC there will be some innovation.
100M USD marketing funds is pocket change for Jensen if it means adoption of their arm platform like how it was for CUDA.
NV can incentivize lots of existing SW vendors to start optimizing for their ARM platform first. As it is, lots of SW vendors already have relationship with NV, Jensen might just make it specific to his SoCs and not for QC

before CXL can be bottlenecked by the PCIe5 x16 BW of 256 GB/s, the system RAM bottleneck is already hit 128GB/s on 8000MT/s DDR5.
Need wider buses

The interwebs say PCIe 5.0 x16 gives us 63 GB/s (minus overhead; twice that if TX and RX are summed up).
