As new generations of CPUs and GPUs get released and we have an optional ability for cloud operators to encode such details in the flavors names, we have to updates the available CPUs and GPUs. Do just that.
Two more details:

  • I also addded Cloud Hypervisor (chy), as it may have relevance for higher security setups. (The Cyberus Hypervisor would also use this type ... as it's a variant)
  • I fixed a confusion with RDNA and CDNA which I assumed to be more similar than they are. So RDNA gets a .1 number assigned now. As this is for AMD (which is not very popular as server GPU) and RDNA are consumer cards which are not supposed to be used in cloud servers, this should not affect anyone ... so we can do this change, avoiding future trouble.

We have Zen-6 on the Horizon and we might see Oryonv3 (Qualcomm) based
server CPUs.
Add nVidia Blackwell (b), AMD CDNA 4, RDNA 4 and 5, intel BattleImage (4).
I was wrong with my assumption that CDNA and RDNA are very similar, so
use .1 versions for RDNA. This means that server/supercomptuing GPUs
don't change their names. (Consumer GPUs would, but those are unlikely
to be used in clouds -- I'm not aware of any.)
Add Cloud Hypervisor (intel / cyberus) as new Hypervisor (chy).

Let's keep out Oryon for now, have not seen Server Chips yet. Fux Zen 6 *server* codename

The latter change keeps https://flavors.scs.community/ in sync with
the current definitions.
