AMD "Medusa Point" With 10-Core, 20-Thread CPU Configuration Surfaces

What happened

AMD's "Medusa Point" APU has surfaced on Geekbench, showcasing a 10-core, 20-thread configuration divided into two clusters: four "Zen 6" cores and six "Zen 6c" cores, suggesting AMD will continue its hybrid approach with two different core types. Each core is equipped with 32 KB of L1 instruction cache, 48 KB of L1 data cache, and 1 MB of L2 cache, while all cores share a single 16 MB L3 cache. The sample shows a base frequency of 2.0 GHz, and Geekbench lists the maximum frequency at just 1996 MHz, which is likely a misreading of early silicon rather than its actual boost clock. The instruction set confirms full AVX-512 support, including the AVX512-FP16 and AVX512-VNNI extensions, along with AVX-VNNI. The test system was paired with 64 GB (only 55.58 GB usable) of quad-channel DDR5 memory running at 5,188 MT/s. According to the rumor, "Medusa Point" is set to introduce a desktop-exclusive "RDNA 4" into the mobile segment with the new "RDNA 4m" variant; instruction set extensions such as WMMA and SWMMAC suggest support in the new "GFX1170" GPU, expected to be part of the GFX11 generation, also known as "RDNA 3", currently believed to be an upgraded "RDNA 3" with many RDNA 4 modules, enabling FSR 4 support even on the less powerful "Medusa Point" APU.
