During the 2025 OCP Global Summit, AMD publicly cited the Zen 6 product codename for the very first time. This encompassed the data - center - focused Venice EPYC and the consumer - oriented Medusa Ryzen. The presentation centered around AMD's open firmware solution, 'openSIL' (Open Firmware). This solution is designed to take the place of the traditional firmware AGESA. By embracing an open - source approach, openSIL enhances firmware development, integration, and security. It effectively tackles the drawbacks of closed - source firmware, such as limited flexibility, lack of transparency, and inefficient upgrade processes.

As per the development roadmap, the Zen6 EPYC will be the pioneer in supporting openSIL. It is anticipated to be accessible roughly one quarter after its official product launch in 2026. In the realm of consumer products, the Zen4 Phoenix mobile platform will start supporting openSIL by the end of 2025. Meanwhile, the Zen6 Medusa is slated for release in the first half of 2027. Medusa serves as the overarching codename for the Zen6 family. It includes the desktop variant Medusa Ridge and the mobile variant Medusa Point. These will continue to utilize the AM5 interface and remain compatible with existing platforms.
