Leak: AMD Zen 6 12-core rivals 16-core Zen 5
Analyst 1usmus claims AMD's upcoming single-CCD 12-core Zen 6 CPUs will score in Cinebench close to the current flagship Ryzen 9 9950X3D2, a 16-core Zen 5 part. Matching it would require roughly a 33% per-core gain. The claim is not based on a leaked benchmark, and real Zen 6 leaks are expected soon.
