TL;DR
Hardware analyst 1usmus claims upcoming 12-core Zen 6 CPUs could provide multi-threaded Cinebench performance close to the 16-core Ryzen 9 9950X3D2.
Hardware analyst 1usmus claims upcoming Zen 6 12-core CPUs could deliver multi-threaded performance in Cinebench that is surprisingly close to the 16-core Ryzen 9 9950X3D2. Because a 12-core chip would need a 33% increase in per-core performance to match a 16-core chip, this would represent a significant generational gain. 1usmus notes that these Zen 6 CCDs feature 12 cores each, which means a dual-CCD processor would have 24 cores. The current data is not a leaked result, and 1usmus says Zen 6 could deliver strong gains in Cinebench while seeing weaker results in other workloads.
