AMD had submitted a patch targeting the processor called 'znver5' in February 2024. Foreign media Phoronix speculates that this 'znver5' refers to the unannounced CPU architecture 'Zen 5'. In addition, the patch submitted by AMD has confirmed the introduction of extended instructions such as `` AVXVNNI '', `` MOVDIRI '', `` MOVDIR64B '', and `` PREFETCH '', which are expected to be supported in Zen 5.



These enhancements build on the capabilities of previous Zen 4-powered processors and enable AMD's client and data center PCs to further improve performance and power efficiency.

Support for Zen 5 will be introduced in GCC ahead of its official release, allowing software developers to further optimize and fine-tune Zen 5. This allows users to get optimized performance on Zen 5 CPUs as soon as they launch.

According to Phoronix, znver5 basically inherited the Zen 4 architecture system when it was added to GCC, but further optimizations and enhancements will be provided in future patches. Continued development of znver5 is expected to further refine the compiler's ability to take full advantage of the features of the Zen 5 architecture.

Although AMD has not revealed the release date of Zen 5, multiple overseas media have predicted that ``Zen 5 will be announced in the second half of 2024, and CPUs adopting the Zen 5 architecture will be shipped after that''. Masu.
