Early Benchmarks Reveal Promising Performance Despite Prototype Stage In a fascinating development for tech enthusiasts and industry analysts, a Geekbench entry has recently unveiled an early engineering sample of AMD's Ryzen 9 "Strix Point" APU, showcasing the power of the upcoming Zen 5 architecture. The sample, bearing the OPN ID "100-000000994-14_N," confirms AMD's ongoing advancements in processing technology, particularly for mobile platforms. Zen 5 Architecture: Bringing Power to Mobility The Ryzen 9 "Strix Point" APU features 12 cores and 24 threads, making it the fastest configuration observed for Strix Point (1) SKUs thus far. Although the chip operates at a base clock of 2.00 GHz in the logs, the actual peak reached was only 1.4 GHz, indicative of its early engineering status. This suggests significant potential for higher clock speeds in the final product, possibly reaching or exceeding 5 GHz. This prototype APU integrates both Zen 5 an...
