Morpheus and Nirvana: the codes names of the next AMD CPUs

So don’t panic, AMD has not decided to change the names of its future CPU range. Morpheus and Nirvana are the leaked code names of the future AMD Zen 5 and Zen 6. AMD uses these code names to define internally the complex CPU arrays based on a given microarchitecture. So for Zen 4 the code name is Durango. But there is also a code name for the processor cores. For Zen 4 cores this little name is Persphone… So much for the story.

AMD next CPU

Next AMD CPUs: the development of Zen 5 is finished.

In addition to the eyewitness account of these codes, we also learn the manufacturing process and the theoretical launch dates of Zen 5 and Zen 6. The leak is serious since it comes from a dumpling of an AMD engineer. We have confirmation that TSMC will take care of these two generations using the 3 nm EUV foundry node for Zen while Zen 6 will be 2 nm EUV. In the leak, the document states that the work on Zen 5 ended in December 2022, which means the development phase of the is probably over. The Zen 5 architecture is probably currently being tested and optimized. So far AMD has confirmed that the new Zen 5 architecture should be launched in 2024 with a significant performance evolution compared to Zen 4. For Zen 6 the engineer says that the work has just started (January 2023). No need to speculate more on the subject
