The latest NBD shipment log reveals a new Ryzen AI Refresh series in the making. Two SKUs were spotted, featuring 10-core and 12-core configurations, respectively.
AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 475 and Ryzen AI 9 465 Leaked in an NBD Shipment Manifest; Likely The "Refreshed" Ryzen AI Gorgon Point APUs
A few months ago, AMD teased its "Ryzen AI Refresh" series at an event. It was the Gorgon Point, which will be based on the Zen 5 architecture but will offer some upgrades over the existing Strix Point APUs. It appears that AMD is ready to unveil its release in the near future, as a few SKUs were spotted in an NBD shipment log.
As spotted by @Olrak29_, the shipment log shows two 12-core and one 10-core SKUs. Their product IDs are "100-000001936-50", "100-000001859-50", and "100-000001861-50". According to @RubyRapids, these are the following APUs:
- 100-000001936-50: Ryzen AI 9 HX 475 Pro?
- 100-000001859-50: Ryzen AI 9 HX 475
- 100-000001861-50: Ryzen AI 9 HX 465
Remember that these are not the official naming conventions, as AMD hasn't disclosed the naming convention of Gorgon Point yet. The reason why we don't think these are the Zen 6 Medusa Point is because the shipping log confirms that these processors will use the "FP8" socket, while we know from an earlier leak that Medusa Point will utilize a bigger "FP10" package.
Since Gorgon Point is just a Strix Point Refresh, it's going to retain the same FP8 package used by the Strix Point. Now, as far as the specifications are concerned, the Gorgon Point basically brings the same core/thread configuration as the Strix Point, but will have superior AI performance with up to 55+ AI TOPS of performance compared to 50 AI NPU TOPS on the latter. The CPU cores will retain the same Zen 5 architecture, and the iGPU will also retain the same RDNA 3.5 architecture, but there will be more SKUs in the lineup apart from these, and these will likely feature higher core clocks.
Unlike the Strix Point and Krackan Point chips, the Gorgon series will have R9, R7, R5, and R3 chips, featuring a core count of as few as four. As for the Zen 6-based Medusa Point, we will see a bigger FP10 package, and it will be the successor to both Strix Point and Gorgon Point chips.
