More Zen 5 APUs are going to be released soon and as per the leaked benchmark, AMD has already prepared an entry-level Krackan Point 2 APU.
AMD's New Zen 5 APU, Ryzen AI 5 330, Scores 1949 Points and 7047 Points in Single and Multi-Threaded Geekbench Tests
AMD continues to produce more Zen 5 chips, particularly for the mobile platform, filling the gap by introducing entry-level chips. While not official, one of the upcoming "Krackan Point 2" chips have been leaked along with its specifications and performance numbers. Keep in mind that the APU was tested on Geekbench, which doesn't represent accurate CPU performance, but we did get crucial information on this entry-level Zen 5 chip, which AMD should be releasing soon.
As spotted by @BenchLeaks, it was the Ryzen AI 5 330 that was tested on Geekbench 6. Apparently, this was deployed in an Acer laptop, and as you can see, the APU reveals its performance, delivering 1949 points in single core and 7047 points in multi-core tests. The specs reveal it as a 4-core/8-thread chip, featuring 1x Zen 5 and 3x Zen 5c core configuration. This is simlar to the Ryzen 3 7440U, which is a Zen 4 chip with 1x Zen 4 + 3x Zen 4c configuration and is a power-efficient chip for mobile platforms.
The Ryzen AI 5 330 also appears to be in the same category and offers a wide range of core frequencies. As per the page, it has a base clock of 2.0 GHz and a boost clock of nearly 3.7 GHz. The TDP isn't revealed but it should be in the 15-30W range similar to the 7440U. Now as far as its integrated graphics goes, we are seeing a Radeon 820M, which appears to be noticeably weaker than the Radeon 840M on the Ryzen AI 5 340. The latter has four GPU cores, and it's possible that the Radeon 820M will have even fewer cores, which is a kinda downgrade coming from 7440U.
Nonetheless, it should be based on the RDNA 3.5 architecture, simlar to other Krackan Point chips and will be mostly aimed at basic graphical workloads. The Ryzen AI 5 330 is going to be deployed in power-efficient and lightweight laptops and mini PCs for users with less demanding tasks. This means these laptops and mini PCs will be ideal for school students and for basic office purposes.
