Medusa Point APU Matches Strix Point Geekbench Scores at Half Clock
AMD’s Medusa Point APU (Zen 6) shows promising Geekbench v6 results with a 10-core/20-thread engineering sample delivering about 2,300 single-core and 13,002 multi-core scores at a base 2.4 GHz (actual ~2.0–2.1 GHz). Surprisingly, it matches a Strix Point APU running at more than double its clock speed, with slightly lower single-core but higher multicore performance. The data suggests IPC gains and possible FP16/AVX-VNNI acceleration, though final performance will depend on later benchmarks; official launch is expected around CES 2027.
