- AMD Zen 6 CPUs may use TSMC's N2P and N2X processes for standard and dense CCDs, respectively.
- N2P is a refinement of N2 for high-performance designs, while N2X targets even higher-power applications.
- I/O dies for Zen 6 may use TSMC's N3P process, with potential differentiation between high-end and low-end SKUs.
- Higher-end SKUs might feature an N3P I/O die with additional Zen 5 LP CPU cores for efficiency.
- N2X is optimized for high-voltage, high-performance designs, potentially enabling 7 GHz clock speeds.
- Zen 6 mobile variants, 'Medusa Point' and 'Medusa Halo', are expected but details remain speculative.
- Mass production for N2P and N2X is not expected until 2027.
