AMD recently shared the AM5 platform roadmap, confirming that the Ryzen 8000 series desktop processors will use the Zen 5 CPU and Navi 3.5 GPU architecture, and will confirm that the Zen 5 CPU will be supported until at least 2026.
According to the relevant information shared by Moore’s Law Is Dead, AMD’s next-generation APU chip code-named “Strix Point” has 2 types of SKUs. The attached list is as follows:
Up to 12 Zen 5/5c Cores, 16 Compute Units RDNA 3+ iGPU
Up to 16 Zen 5 cores, 40 Compute Units RDNA 3.5 iGPUMLID says the Strix Point APU is based on a 4nm process with a die size of “over 200 mm2” and a package cost comparable to a “Granite Ridge” desktop Zen 5 CPU.
MLID said that the AM5 Strix Point APU has no cost advantage over the desktop Zen 5 CPU, and the key selling point of the desktop Ryzen 8000 Strix Point is likely to be the iGPU.
The news also said that the Zen 5c core will cause a drop in game performance due to TDP limitations, so the desktop Ryzen 8000 APU only contains the Zen 5 core.
