The GNU Compiler Collection has unexpectedly received initial support for the upcoming Zen 6 and Zen 6c microarchitectures. The GNU project's compiler suite will support the new Ryzen and Epyc CPUs in version 16.1.
As Phoronix now reports, the free GNU Compiler Collection ("GCC") has surprisingly already received support for the upcoming two microarchitectures Zen 6 ("Morpheus") and Zen 6c ("Monarch"). The GNU project's open source compiler suite will support the new Ryzen and Epyc processors with the stable release of version 16.1. The Znver6 patch is supported in GCC 16.1 and is part of the standard compiler for Fedora 44 Workstation.

The compiler patch also confirms the new ISA features of the Zen-6 architecture, including AVX512_BMM, AVX_NE_CONVERT, AVX_IFMA, AVX_VNNI_INT8 and AVX512_FP16, and is now merged in the GCC git. Already in November of this year, the GNU Binutils patch was released on the mailing list.

Preparations for the new Zen-6 processors are running in the background, while the first products based on the two new microarchitectures are expected by the end of 2026 at the earliest. The Epyc 9006 ("Venice") server CPUs are expected to make the start, while Ryzen X ("Olympic Ridge") could take a comparatively long time to arrive.
