AMD Revealing Plans for Zen 6, RDNA, CDNA, and UDNA by Mid-November – Discovering the Path Forward in Processors and GPUs Technology

AMD Unveils Multi-Year Product Roadmap at 2025 Financial Analyst Day

On November 11, 2025, AMD will host its Financial Analyst Day (FAD) in New York City, where the company plans to reveal detailed multi-year product roadmaps for its CPU, GPU, FPGA, DPU, AI/HPC solutions, and related technologies [1][2].

Key planned disclosures include:

CPU Roadmap

  • AMD's next-generation EPYC "Venice" processor, based on the Zen 6 microarchitecture, is expected in 2026. The processor will feature up to 256 cores.
  • Details on Zen 6-based client CPUs and the 2027 EPYC "Verano" processors will be revealed. AMD has not yet disclosed whether Verano will be based on Zen 6 or Zen 7.
  • High-level information on Zen 7 and Zen 8 future CPU architectures will be shared, although in-depth details may be limited for products several years out.

GPU Roadmap

  • Updates on AMD’s RDNA architecture evolution will be discussed.
  • Roadmaps for data center GPUs include the Instinct MI500-series and the CDNA architecture branch (AMD’s compute-focused GPU line).
  • Given recent challenges with Instinct MI308 inventory, AMD will likely address the ongoing ramp of MI350 and how future GPUs will contribute to growth.

FPGA and DPU

  • AMD is expected to outline strategies and upcoming products in the FPGA (field-programmable gate array) and DPU (data processing unit) spaces, although specifics are less publicly detailed before the event.

AI and HPC Solutions

  • AMD will showcase its AI and high-performance computing solutions, potentially including advancements in GPU and CPU integration, enhanced AI accelerators, and overall platform strategies.

Networking and Packaging Technologies

  • The new "Vulcano" 800 GbE network cards are part of AMD’s planned innovations in high-speed networking hardware for data centers and HPC.
  • AMD will also present packaging technologies that improve performance and integration across CPUs, GPUs, and accelerators, which are crucial for future scalable HPC and AI workloads.

Overall, this event will deliver AMD’s strategic vision on how it plans to sustain leadership and growth across computing, graphics, AI, and infrastructure markets through technology roadmaps extending into the late 2020s [1][2]. More comprehensive and specific details will become available following the Financial Analyst Day presentations.

In addition, AMD will discuss its RDNA 5 GPUs and UDNA 6 products for client applications, as well as its opportunities with game consoles. AMD will also talk about its following-generation Instinct MI500-series accelerators, presumably based on the UDNA 6 architecture, at its FAD. However, the architecture for its following-generation Instinct MI500-series accelerators has not yet been disclosed. AMD already disclosed that its Instinct MI400-series accelerators are based on the CDNA Next architecture.

The event will feature presentations from AMD's executive leadership team. AMD's plans to unveil its packaging roadmap towards the end of the decade, focusing on advanced packaging technologies for its AI and HPC Instinct-series GPUs. AMD may also reveal more information about its 'Vulcano' 800 GbE network cards compliant with the UEC 1.0 specification.

The most important part for analysts and investors will be AMD’s guidance on expanding its AI and data center share against Nvidia, hyperscale cloud service providers, and AI inference accelerators while maintaining profitability. AMD traditionally lays out multi-year strategies and product roadmaps at its Financial Analyst Days. AMD has not officially talked about its Zen 6-based CPUs for client systems. AMD's 'Vulcano' network cards and their successors will be widely used in Ultra Ethernet-connected AI and HPC data centers late this decade and early next.
