Question: Resolves YES if any AMD desktop CPU based on the Zen 6 architecture, released on or before December 31, 2028 (23:59:59 UTC), has an official AMD-specified Max Boost Clock ≥ 7.00 GHz. Otherwise resolves NO on January 1, 2029 (UTC).

Definitions

• Zen 6: CPU cores that AMD itself markets as “Zen 6” (including any Zen 6 variants such as Zen 6c, if AMD labels them that way). Rumors/leaks don’t count.

• Desktop CPU: Any processor AMD markets for desktop use (e.g., Ryzen desktop), excluding mobile (Ryzen Mobile), HEDT (Threadripper) and server (EPYC).

• Official Max Boost Clock: The single-core boost frequency listed by AMD on an official spec page, product brief, or press material.

What does not count

• Overclocking of any kind (manual OC, PBO/Auto-OC, motherboard vendor “enhancements,” EXPO/XMP effects, LN2 records).

• Engineering samples, demos, or claims without a released product.

• Third-party measurements that exceed AMD’s stated spec if AMD’s own spec is < 7.00 GHz.

Edge cases

• If AMD lists exactly 7.00 GHz, that qualifies (meets “7.00 GHz or higher”).

• If AMD lists in MHz, we use the exact value; rounding follows AMD’s own published figure.

• OEM-only desktop SKUs count if AMD markets them as desktop and publishes specs.

Primary sources for resolution
AMD’s official product pages, spec sheets, and press/launch materials. If conflicting data appears, AMD’s latest official spec at the time of resolution prevails.

Early resolution: The market may resolve YES as soon as a qualifying CPU is released and documented by AMD.
