AMD's upcoming Krackan Point APUs, expected to power a new generation of efficient laptops, are starting to appear on Geekbench. The latest one to appear was the Ryzen AI 7 350, which revealed promising performance figures.
This 8-core APU, featuring a combination of 4 Zen 5 and 4 Zen 5c cores, was discovered in an Acer Swift SFG16-61 laptop (via Benchleaks) running the Geekbench 6.3 CPU benchmark. The engineering sample, identified by the AMD OPN code “100-000000713-40_Y”, boasts a boost clock of 5045 MHz and a total of 16 MB of L3 cache.
In the Geekbench tests, the Krackan Point achieved a single-threaded score of 2,677 and a multi-core score of 11,742. These results place it ahead of the Ryzen 7 8845HS in both single-core (over 14%) and multi-core (about 6%), indicating a decent performance uplift for AMD's upcoming mobile platform.
The Ryzen AI 7 350 is expected to feature the Radeon 860M integrated graphics with 8 CUs. Like the recently launched Strix Point APUs, Krackan Point will also include AMD's upgraded XDNA2 AI engine, capable of delivering up to 50 TOPS of AI performance. AMD is expected to officially unveil the Krackan Point and Strix Halo APUs at CES 2025 next month.
KitGuru says: With the Ryzen AI 7 350 and Ryzen AI 5 340 showing promising performance in early benchmarks, AMD's next generation of mobile APUs is shaping into a compelling offering for laptops.
