AMD's Ryzen AI 5 430 "Gorgon" CPU has leaked out, showcasing upgraded specs & faster performance than its predecessor from the Krackan Point family.
AMD Ryzen AI 5 430 "Gorgon" CPU Features Better Specs Than Ryzen AI 5 330 "Krackan", Bigger iGPU & Up To 19% Ahead
We know that AMD is preparing a soft refresh of its existing Ryzen AI 300, which will be branded under the Ryzen AI 400 series. The new family will be called Gorgon Point, and we have seen several SKUs leak out in the past couple of weeks.
Today, we have a new leak from the BAPCo database, which covers the AMD Ryzen AI 5 430, an entry-level CPU within the Gorgon Point family. This chip features 4 cores based on the Zen 5 core architecture, and offers 8 MB of L3 + 4 MB of L2 cache. Considering this is the successor to the Ryzen AI 5 330, the chip should retain its TDP of 15-28W, though the clock speeds are currently unknown.
But one significant change is the iGPU for the AMD Ryzen AI 5 430. The Ryzen AI 5 330 featured just 2 CUs within its Radeon 820M iGPU, while the Ryzen AI 5 430 features the bigger Radeon 840M iGPU with 4 CUs. This means that users should expect better graphics performance on a similarly positioned product versus last gen.
The platform on which the AMD Ryzen AI 5 430 "Goron" CPU was tested is a notebook with 64 GB of DDR5-5600 memory. The motherboard used is titled "Korat Plus-GPT3," which is the reference platform for Strix and Gorgon mainstream CPUs. Both Gorgon and Krackan are using the same ID "AuthenticAMD AMD64 Family 26 Model 104 Stepping 0" & it makes sense since these are just differently configured SKUs and the internal architectures haven't been changed.
Coming to the performance, the AMD Ryzen AI 5 430 CPU was tested in the BAPCo CrossMark suite and scored a respectable 19% uplift over its predecessor. This shows that we might be looking at higher clock speeds or optimizations on the chip itself. Following is how the chip stacks up next to its predecessor:
BAPCo CrossMark Scores (Higher is Better)
The specs and leaks match a previous one that we reported earlier this month. Based on the leak, the Ryzen AI 5 series didn't include a four-core SKU back then, but those plans might have changed. AMD's Gorgon "Ryzen AI 400" lineup is expected to be introduced at CES 2026, so expect more news very soon.
