In an exciting revelation, @Olrak29_ recently took to Twitter to unveil details regarding AMD's Zen 5 Ryzen APU lineup. According to the source, the lineup will include three distinct series: Strix, Kraken, and Sonoma. This marks a significant advancement in AMD's mobile APU offerings, promising enhanced performance and versatility. Stay tuned for further updates as the unveiling date approaches.
The three APU series mentioned above will incorporate a mix of Zen 5 and Zen 5C cores, with differences in configuration. Here's a breakdown provided by pulsestacks:
- Strix Point: 4 Zen 5 cores + 8 Zen 5C cores = 24 threads
- Kraken Point: 4 Zen 5 cores + 4 Zen 5C cores = 16 threads
- Sonoma Valley: 0 Zen 5 cores + 4 Zen 5C cores = 8 threads
In the tweet, the first number represents the standard Zen 5 "Nirvana" core, while the second number represents the Zen 5C "Prometheus" core.
While both cores utilize the same architecture, the clock speed of the Zen 5C core is slightly lower to enhance efficiency. All three series of AMD Ryzen APUs will feature the Zen 5C core, though it appears not all series will adopt the Zen 5 standard core.
