Something to look forward to: The next generation of Ryzen Threadripper chips has been officially confirmed. Codenamed Mustang Peak, the Zen 6-based CPUs are built on TSMC's 2nm process, have PCIe 6.0 support, and move to a new TR6 platform.

Details of the next Threadripper series were discovered in AMD's technical documentation portal by InstLatX64. It lists the AMD Ryzen Threadripper TR6 desktop processors under document ID UG1866, with screenshots revealing some key details: Family 1Ah Model A8h, DDR5 memory, PCIe Gen 6, Zen 6 cores, and the Mustang Peak codename.

The biggest change is the move from TR5 to TR6. The current Threadripper 9000 and Threadripper Pro 9000 WX chips use the TR5 platform, split between TRX50 for HEDT systems and WRX90 for workstation-class Pro builds.
