AMD Zen 5 “Ryzen” Mobility CPUs Leak Out: Fire Range In 8 To 16 Core With 55W TDPs, Strix Point In 28W APUs

AMD has started sending out test units of its next-gen Zen 5-based Ryzen mobility family such as the Strix Point and Fire Range families.

AMD Fire Range Comes With Up To 16 High-Performance Zen 5 Cores Rated at 55W, Strix Point APUs Rock The FP8 Socket With Zen 5 Cores at 28W

Spotted by @Harukaze5719, we have at least four different variants, two for each lineup along with their OPN IDs. These include two Fire Range CPUs and two Strix Point APUs. Both Fire Range & Strix Point families will be based on the next-generation Zen 5 core architecture with the former aiming the high-end mobility segment while the latter aims at the mainstream notebook market. Starting with the OPN codes, we have:

• 100-0000001335 - Strix Point (1) 28W B0 FP8 Ryzen 9
• 100-000000994 - Strix Point (1) 28W B0 FP8 Ryzen 9
• 100-000001028 - Fire Range 16 Core 55W B0 Ryzen 9
• 100-000001029 - Fire Range 8 Core 55W B0 Ryzen 7

Momomo_US also managed to spot two EPYC Turin "Breithorn" SKUs at nbd.ltd:

• 100-000001535-03 (128 Core / 16 CCD + 1 IOD)
• 100-000001538-03 (32 Core / 4 CCD + 1 IOD)

Looking at the Strix Point SKUs first, the listing doesn't mention any specifics but it does state that both APUs are configured at a default TDP of 28W and they are also mentioned as Strix Point (1) & which refers to the classic or monolithic package which these specific chips will be using. There's also a chiplet-based premium Strix Point offering internally referred to as Strix Point (2). These APUs are currently in B0 revision and feature support on the FP8 platform which currently features support for both Phoenix and Hawk Point APUs.

The AMD Strix Point (1) APUs will offer up to 8 cores and 16 threads based on the Zen 5 core architecture and will come equipped with up to 12 compute units based on the new RDNA 3+ graphics architecture. They will also feature an upgraded AI NPU offering 3x the compute of Hawk Point which is rated at 16 TOPs. Following are some of the main features to expect from Strix Point APUs:

• Zen 5 (4nm) Monolithic Design
• Up To 12 Cores
• 16 RDNA 3+ Compute Units
• XDNA 2 Engine Integrated
• 2H 2024 Launch (Expected)

Moving over to the AMD Fire Range lineup, these chips are going to be the most high-end mobility offerings and will succeed the existing Dragon Range lineup. Just like Dragon Range, these chips will be using desktop-grade chiplet dies and will come in a mix of Non-3D and 3D V-Cache options but this time, based on the newer Zen 5 core architecture. The two SKUs listed include a 16 Core (Ryzen 9) and an 8 Core (Ryzen 7) SKU, both rated at 55W. Following is what to expect from the Fire Range lineup:

• Zen 5 (5nm) Chiplet Design
• Up To 16 Cores
• RDNA 3+ Graphics Cores (2 CU?)
• 1H 2025 Launch (Expected)

Currently, AMD plans to launch Strix Point APUs for laptops first with shipments beginning later this year followed by retail availability in early 2025. Meanwhile, Fire Range Mobility SKUs will be hitting shelves by 2H 2025 after their announcement at CES 2025.

A recent roadmap showcased by Analyst firm, Canalyst, shows that Strix Point APUs are expected by mid 2024 followed by the Kraken Point lineup (Strix Point refresh) in 1H of 2025. These are rough estimates but the existing rumors and leaks pretty much point towards the same timeframe for the said chips. With that said, AMD is in for a heated fight in the mobile segment as Intel, Qualcomm, and Apple are also prepping up new chips to enter the mobility AI and PC space.
