Linux Kernel Updates Indicate Expansion of Many AMD Zen 5 CPU Models
Recent patches to the Linux kernel have added support for four new numerical ranges of AMD Family 26 processors, also known as Zen 5 CPUs. This development, confirmed by sources including Phoronix, introduces 64 potential new models spanning ranges 0-15, 32-47, 64-79, and 112-127. Each range potentially represents a different CPU or CPU category, such as Strix Point for mobile devices or Granite Ridge for desktops, although not all are expected to reach the market. The update follows closely after the discovery of Zen 5 Strix Point Geekbench results on social media, which has heightened anticipation for AMD's next-generation CPUs. Additional recent updates include enhancements to Linux’s GCC compiler and PMC driver specifically for Zen 5, although these patches have not provided new insights into the capabilities or specifications of the upcoming CPUs.
