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.

PS6 Leak Outlines Hybrid Handheld and Home Console With Zen 6, RDNA 5

Leaked specs, via Moore’s Law is Dead, sketch a PS6 with a handheld Canis and a home console built on AMD Zen 6 CPUs and RDNA 5 GPUs on a 3nm process. Canis reportedly has 6 CPU cores and 16 RDNA 5 Compute Units with 192-bit LPDDR5X memory (~135mm²). The PS6 home console allegedly features up to 10 Zen 6 cores, a 52–42 CU RDNA 5 GPU at 2.6–3GHz, a 160-bit memory bus and 30–40 GB of GDDR7 for up to 640 GB/s bandwidth. Leaks claim 2.5–3x PS5 rasterization and 6–12x ray tracing, with PS6 initially lagging Microsoft’s Next Xbox. These are unconfirmed leaks.

Intel's Nova Lake-S Aims for CES 2027 Debut, Rivaling AMD's Olympic Ridge

A leak suggests Intel's Nova Lake-S Core Ultra CPUs will launch at CES 2027, potentially alongside AMD's Zen 6 “Olympic Ridge,” pushing back from a late-2026 window; early rumors indicate Nova Lake-S could feature up to 52 cores (16 P-cores, 32 E-cores, 4 LP-cores) with AI improvements, but specifics remain unconfirmed amid ongoing silicon and DRAM shortages.

AMD's Zen 6 Ryzen 10000: 6–24 Core CPUs on 2nm AM5 Platform

TechPowerUp reports AMD's Ryzen 10000 ‘Olympic Ridge’ will launch with Zen 6 cores in single-CCD SKUs (6/8/10/12 cores) and two-CCD SKUs (12/16/20/24 cores) on the AM5 socket, built on TSMC's 2nm N2 process. Each CCD can hold up to 48 MB of L3 cache (96 MB total for all cores), with potential 3D V-Cache enhancements, and AVX-512 support to match advanced x86 extensions.

AMD Zen 6 Medusa Point 28W Low-TDP Stepping Spotted in NBD Manifest

A Medusa Point 28W Low-TDP (Medusa 1 A0) stepping for AMD's Zen 6 mobile lineup appeared in an NBD shipping manifest, confirming a 28W low-power tier alongside a 45W High-TDP line. The Low-TDP family targets Ryzen 5/7 with configurations up to 22 cores across mixed Classic/Dense/Low Power cores, shares the FP10 socket with the High-TDP family, and uses RDNA 3.5 graphics with 8 CUs. RDNA 5 is not expected until 2027, and the Medusa Point is seen as a successor to Krackan Point, potentially competing with budget Nova Lake mobile CPUs.
