AMD's 6-Core Krackan Point APU Spotted with Unique 3+3 Configuration
6-core AMD Krackan Point APU has been benchmarked, revealing a unique 3+3 core cluster configuration and potential use of Zen 5 and Zen 5c cores.
AMD's upcoming budget-oriented Krackan Point APU, based on the Zen 5 architecture, has been spotted in the Geekbench AI benchmark, revealing a unique 3+3 core configuration. Geekbench AI Benchmark and Specifications The Krackan Point APU, identified as "AMD Engineering Sample: 100-000001600-40_Y" within an ASUS laptop, was tested on Geekbench AI. While the scores themselves weren't remarkable (likely due to being an early engineering sample), the revealed specifications are of interest. The CPU features 6 cores and 12 threads, split into two clusters of 3 cores each, potentially a mix of Zen 5 and Zen 5c cores. It's unclear whether these clusters reside on the same CCD or separate ones. Potential SKUs and Release This 6-core chip is speculated to be the Ryzen AI 5 340/330 APU, the entry-level offering in the Krackan Point family. A mid-range 8-core Ryzen AI 7 350 is also expected. Note that this naming convention differs from Strix Point CPUs, which will use the R…
