AMD has posted their initial enablement patch for adding Zen 5 processor support "znver5" into the GNU Compiler Collection (GCC), confirming new AVX features and more. The patch notes the Zen 5 ISA capabilities and additional AGU and ALU pipes over the current generation. This early support for Zen 5 in GCC is a positive sign for AMD's future product launches and will likely be merged into GCC 14 Git shortly. The LLVM/Clang compiler patches for Zen 5 are yet to be posted, but it's expected to follow soon. This move is seen as a positive step for AMD, especially after the delayed support for Zen 4 in GCC 13.
