A recent leak from insider @9550pro on X reveals Core Configuration details about AMD’s upcoming Zen 6-based Medusa Point APUs, expected to launch in 2026. The Ryzen 9 SKUs could feature a massive 22-core configuration, achieved by combining a 12-core CCD (Core Complex Die) with a 10-core setup (4 Classic + 4 Dense + 2 Low Power cores).
Ryzen 5 and Ryzen 7 models are rumored to have 10 cores (4C+4D+2LP) using a monolithic die, all built on TSMC’s N3P and N2P nodes for improved efficiency.
However, the integrated GPU (iGPU) is reportedly downgraded to 8 Compute Units (CUs) with RDNA 3.5+ architecture, compared to the 16 CUs in the Zen 5-based Strix Point APUs.
This could reduce graphical performance by about 23%, similar to the gap between the Radeon 860M (8 CU) and Radeon 890M (12 CU).
The focus appears to be on CPU power for premium performance, with the Medusa Point targeting laptops and small-form-factor systems. Official details are expected closer to the second half of 2025.
