AMD's next-gen Zen 6 gaming CPU rumors: 12C/24T with huge 240MB of 2-Hi X3D cache is possible

AMD's rumored Zen 6 gaming processor could see a flagship offering that would put (yet another) nail in Intel's coffin, with a purported 240MB of L3 cache and up to 7.0GHz CPU clock speeds.

In a new video from leaker Moore's Law is Dead, we're hearing from one of his sources that said it's indeed possible for AMD's new Zen 6 chips to stack multiple layers of V-Cache. MLID's source confirmed 96MB of cache per V-Cache layer, saying that multiple layers being stacked can happen.

The source added that AMD could provide 2-Hi X3D to consumers, where we could see a 12-core, 24-thread Zen 6 processor to consumers with a whopping 240MB of L3 cache. This would not just compete with whatever Intel can muster up with its next-gen gaming CPUs, but utterly destroy it.

MLID reports from his source: "Based on our (AMD) recent testing, we expect final silicon to have 6-8% higher FP IPC versus Zen 5. Not that this is NOT the final claimed IP that will take into account gaming and other PPC uplifts. Oh, and I can confirm 96MB of cache per V-Cache layer, and that your prior leaks stating Zen 6 can stack multiple layers is correct. Like your other sources, I have no proof AMD will give 2-Hi X3D to consumers, but I can say it's possible for a 12-core 240MB L3 Zen 6 gaming chip to exist!"
