AMD is reportedly preparing several mobile, desktop, workstation, and server CPU lineups for FP8, FF5, AM5, and FL1 sockets.
AMD to Introduce Shimada Peak Workstation, Krackan Point Refresh, and Several Variants of Gorgon Point for Mobile Platform
Looks like AMD is ready to deliver its latest CPU products in the coming months, and it has reportedly readied several new lineups based on the Zen 5 architecture. However, most of these will be refreshes of the existing mobile and desktop CPU families.
As @Olrak29_ mentioned, the company is preparing a new CPU series for all segments, including mobile, desktop, workstation, and data center. Starting with the mainstream client segment, AMD will introduce Gorgon Point for both desktop and mobile platforms. On the desktop, the Gorgon Point will utilize the existing AM5 socket, and it's going to be the Ryzen 9000G series, succeeding the Ryzen 8000G family. It will comprise powerful APUs with integrated graphics based on the RDNA 3.5 architecture.
On the other hand, the mobile Gorgon Point will be divided into three different categories: Gorgon Point 1, Gorgon Point 2, and Gorgon Point 3. All of them are reportedly based on the Zen 5 architecture and, as per some rumors, the Gorgon Point 1 will feature up to 12 cores, Gorgon Point 2 with up to 8 cores, and Gorgon Point 3 with up to 6 cores. Keep in mind that this isn't confirmed yet and is just speculation.
There will be a Krackan Point Refresh as well, and, going by the number of families already available with Zen 5 architecture, this could be pretty confusing for consumers. All of these will utilize the FP8 socket, which is used by both the Strix Point and Krackan Point series. The Medusa Point family is the only one that is reported to use a slightly bigger FP10 socket and will be based on Zen 6 architecture.
Next is AMD's Soundwave, which is reportedly going to use the FF5 socket. Not much has been publicly available about this family, but it is expected to boast a hybrid 6-core configuration with 2 performance cores and 4 efficiency cores based on Zen 6 architecture. As for the workstation, Shimada Peak is in the works, which is the Threadripper 9000 series, featuring up to 96 cores, and we recently reported about a budget 12-core SKU as well.
Lastly, for the Data Center, AMD will have EPYC Fire Range for the mobile on the FL1 socket and EPYC Grado for the desktop on the AM5 socket for an affordable segment. As spotted by @instlatx64, the Grado will be based on Zen 5 and will go by the EPYC 4005 naming convention.
