AMD is setting the stage for a significant leap with its upcoming Zen 6 lineup, and the company is betting big on TSMC’s cutting-edge N2P process to power most of its future CPUs. 
As AMD prepares to unveil its next-gen platforms, recent leaks suggest that nearly all major Zen 6 chips-spanning desktops, servers, and high-end laptops-will leverage TSMC’s 2nm-class node, marking a decisive step forward in performance and efficiency.
Leaker Kepler_L2 revealed that AMD’s EPYC Venice server chips, both Classic and Dense variants, are confirmed to use the N2P process. Meanwhile, the successor to the Ryzen 9000 series-reportedly codenamed Olympic Ridge-is also said to adopt N2P, promising substantial performance gains for enthusiasts and prosumers alike.
On the mobile front, AMD’s Gator Range, targeting premium laptops, will feature the same advanced node
. This move signals AMD’s intent to push 2nm tech across all tiers except for ultra-efficient SKUs. For example, Medusa Point 1 chips will mix N2P and N3P chiplets for high-end models, while budget-conscious variants will stick to N3P for better power efficiency.
With Intel eyeing its 18A node and potentially leaning on TSMC’s tech for parts of Nova Lake, the CPU market is shaping up to be more competitive than it’s been in years. AMD’s strategy-combining architecture-level innovations with the benefits of advanced lithography-could make Zen 6 one of its most disruptive launches to date.
While we’ve grown accustomed to hype cycles and overblown claims, the shift to 2nm across a broad spectrum of SKUs indicates AMD isn’t pulling punches. Whether that translates to real-world gains or meme fodder remains to be seen-but one thing’s clear: this fight isn’t over yet.
