- TSMC N2X Node Slippage Could Impact AMD Zen 6 Timeline
➀ AMD's Zen 6 architecture may be delayed until 2027, marking a significant shift from the company's established release rhythm;
➁ The Ryzen 11000 series could face a year-long delay due to changes in TSMC's advanced node production plan;
➂ The N2X process node, central to Zen 6 development, is now expected to be available closer to late 2027 or early 2028;
➃ This delay disrupts AMD's two-year product cadence, potentially creating the longest hiatus between major CPU generations in nearly a decade;
➄ AMD is expected to implement a two-phase strategy to manage the transition, possibly releasing enhanced versions of Zen 5 and delaying the full Zen 6 rollout.
