AMD Ryzen AI 7 PRO 160 CPU Leak: 8 Cores In 3+5 “Zen 5 + Zen 5C” Config, Radeon 870M iGPU, Up To 7% Faster Than Ryzen 9 8945HS

AMD's upcoming Ryzen AI 7 PRO 160 APU has leaked out, featuring a 3-Core Zen 5 plus 5-Core Zen 5C configuration & Radeon 870M iGPU.

AMD Ryzen AI 7 PRO 160 CPU Leak Could Be An Early Glimpse of Kraken Point, Features a 3+5 Core Configuration With Zen 5 & Zen 5C Cores

Spotted over at Geekbench, we have a new AMD Ryzen AI 300 CPU that has leaked out & is known as the Ryzen AI 7 PRO 160. This APU is part of the Ryzen AI PRO 300 family which is expected to be launched in October with at least two chips that are known so far that we also reported here. The new chip is a very unique configuration and while it may look like a standard 8-core configuration it is in reality something more surprising.

Starting with the specifications, the AMD Ryzen AI 7 PRO 160 CPU is listed under the "Strix Point" family and was featured within the Lenovo "21M1SIT005" laptop. The chip features 8 cores and 16 threads, coupled with 8 MB of L2 cache and 8 MB of L3 cache. The CPU has a base clock of 2.0 GHz which is standard across the Ryzen AI 300 chips that have been announced so far and a boost clock of up to 4.3 GHz which is a bit lower than the 5.0-5.1 GHz boost clocks we have seen on the other 2 SKUs.

Now coming to the more interesting bits, the AMD Ryzen AI 7 PRO 160 CPU is composed of three Zen 5 cores and five Zen 5C cores in a 3+5 configuration which makes up a total of 8 cores. It also features a Radeon 870M iGPU which based on its name should retain the same RDNA 3.5 GPU architecture but come with a reduced number of cores. The Radeon 890M features 16 CUs, and the 880M features 12 CUs so we can expect 8 CUs for the 870. The clock speeds should still be in the 2 GHz+ range.

Now an 8-core configuration in the Strix Point family makes sense but it also makes sense that this could be our first look at a Kraken Point APU. The Kraken Point APUs are expected to feature a very similar hybrid Zen 5 and Zen 5C configuration but only offer up to 8 cores. The APUs are expected to offer up to 12 CUs so we could see a higher-end variant when the official launch happens. These chips should make a perfect fit in Mini PCs and Handheld Gaming devices which are constrained in terms of TDP due to either limited space for cooling or smaller batteries.

Moving over to the performance metrics, the AMD Ryzen AI 7 PRO 160 CPU was benchmarked in Geekbench 6, scoring 2514 points in the single-core and 11,772 points in the multi-core tests. The performance is 7% faster than the Ryzen 9 8945HS in the single-core tests but only manages to match it in the multi-core test. The "160" naming scheme also tells us another interesting thing about this chip and why its performance is a bit lackluster in the multi-threading department.

The "160" naming scheme was used by early engineering samples before AMD decided to switch to the new "300" series branding so this chip will be referred to Ryzen AI 7 PRO 360 (unless AMD has decided to go with a different SKU name). The ES nature of this chip can explain its low boost clock speeds and the resultant poor score but we can't wait to see more of these chips in action. These Kraken Point APUs will enter the market early next year, targeting the masses with attractive price points.
