2026-07-13


On July 9th, according to foreign media Tom's hardware, AMD is expected to release its next generation mobile CPU product codenamed "Medusa Point" at CES 2027. Recently, a SKU's score has appeared on Geekbench and is significantly higher than the previously leaked version.

Geekbench shows that the processor is named "AMD Eng Sample 100-000001713-33-N" and labeled as "AMD Plum-MDS1", which is a platform related to Medusa Point. It has a 10 core (4+6) CPU, 20 threads, a clock speed of approximately 2.0 GHz, and carries 10MB of L2 cache and 32MB of L3 cache. However, L3 cache and clock frequency may be falsely reported.

At present, AMD only produces two other 10 core mobile products - Ryzen AI 9 365 and Ryzen AI 9 465, so this may be the so-called Ryzen AI 9 565.

From the test results, the chip scored 3174 points in the single core test and 15092 points in the multi-core test. Compared to Strix Point's flagship APU - Ryzen AI 9 HX 370, the single core score (about 2600 points) is about 22% higher, and the multi-core score (about 13400 points) is about 13% higher.

This AMD Plum-MDS1 even outperforms Strix Halo flagship Ryzen AI 9 Max+395 by over 400 points in single core benchmark testing, but lags behind in multi-core testing.

Overall, Medusa Point's Zen 6 internal architecture has brought significant performance leaps. Compared to the previously leaked Medusa Point APU with the same 10 cores (2300 points for single core and 13002 points for multi-core), the newly exposed SKU has stronger performance.
