AMD officially confirmed its next-generation Zen 6 Ryzen CPUs, codenamed "Medusa," at the OCP 2025 event on October 30, 2025. This announcement solidifies the company's future desktop processor roadmap, moving past prior leaks and speculation. A significant part of the reveal was AMD's plan to replace its proprietary AGESA firmware with openSIL-based firmware starting in 2026. This strategic shift aims to offer improved transparency, security, and customization. The 6th Generation EPYC "Venice" server CPUs will be the first to ship with the new firmware in 2026, followed by the new Ryzen CPUs in early 2027. The confirmation provides investors and customers with a clearer view of AMD's long-term strategy in the high-performance computing market.
