AMD Krackan Point: Key Features
The Krackan Point is an 8-core APU with a 4+4 core configuration (4 Zen 5 and 4 Zen 5c cores). An engineering sample reached a clock speed of 5.05 GHz (5045 MHz) in Geekbench testing and boasts 16MB of L3 cache. It is expected to feature Radeon 860M graphics with 8 Compute Units and an improved NPU design known as XDNA2, capable of 50 TOPS.
Benchmark Performance
The Acer SFG16-61 Swift, equipped with the Krackan Point processor, scored 2677 points in the Geekbench 6.3 single-threaded test and 11742 points in the multi-core test. This surpasses the Ryzen 7 8845HS, a 45W 8-core APU, according to official Geekbench rankings.
