Leaked presentations have revealed AMD's next-generation mobile CPU, codenamed “Gorgon Point”, offering a glimpse into the company's roadmap beyond the current Ryzen AI 300 “Strix Point” architecture. This 2026 successor promises a slight improvement in CPU performance while mainly maintaining the core CPU, iGPU, and NPU architectures.

The presentation shared by Naver (via @harukze5719) shows that “Gorgon Point” is expected to integrate up to 12 CPU cores, using a combination of “Zen 5” and “Zen 5c” architectures, an iGPU based on the RDNA 3.5 graphics architecture, and an NPU powered by XDNA 2. While the core IP remains consistent with “Strix Point”, performance enhancements are anticipated across the CPU, iGPU, and NPU. However, don't expect anything game-changing, as the architectures are still the same.

AMD's presentation included internal performance benchmarks, showcasing marginal improvements in single- and multi-threaded CPU performance. This suggests that the core configuration, likely a 4x “Zen 5” + 8x “Zen 5c” arrangement, will be carried over. However, if the core configuration is the same, there must be something else that would result in this performance improvement, like an increase in CPU clock frequencies or a change to the design of the “Zen 5” P-cores (“Zen 5+”?).

Furthermore, two “Gorgon Point” SKUs (a Ryzen and a Ryzen 7) will feature an enhanced NPU, delivering more than 55 AI TOPS, an improvement of 5 AI TOPS over the Ryzen AI 300 series top performers. However, most SKUs seem to pack the same XDNA 2 NPU found in Strix Point.

KitGuru says: As it seems, Gorgon Point is to Strix Point what Hawk Point is to Phoenix Point. As such, if you're already on a Ryzen AI 300 series, there's likely no point in upgrading.
