In 2025, many laptops with AMD processors will likely use the new Strix Point hardware, which is built on AMD’s Zen 5 architecture.
AMD revealed its Ryzen AI 300 processors (codenamed Strix Point) at Computex 2024, promising a significant boost in AI performance for laptops. These chips are now appearing in several Windows laptops, and AMD’s Z2 Extreme chips – also part of the Strix Point family – are powering new gaming handhelds like the Lenovo Legion Go 2 and the Xbox Ally X.
At Computex 2025, AMD focused heavily on its new Radeon graphics cards and Ryzen Threadripper processors, with only minor updates for its everyday laptop and mobile CPUs. These will remain largely unchanged for the next year.
Things should change in 2026, but I don’t have exact details yet about when and where AMD will release its next mobile processors. Right now, I’m relying on unofficial information, so please be aware that everything I’m sharing is subject to change.
Here’s everything I know about AMD’s upcoming Gorgon Point mobile APUs.
AMD’s Gorgon Point lineup leaked in 2025
Details about AMD’s next generation of mobile processors, called Gorgon Point, have emerged from a leaked presentation. The information, originally shared by a leaker with PCGamer, comes from internal slides presented at a private meeting with partners in March 2025.
The original source of the leaked slides was a user named harukaze5719 on X (formerly Twitter), but their post was quickly taken down. Despite this, several news sources managed to report on the slides before they were deleted.
The most significant update is that AMD’s Gorgon Point is currently expected to release in 2026. However, recent leaks suggest the changes won’t be as dramatic as some people anticipated.
AMD’s new Gorgon Point processors are very similar to the Strix Point chips. Here’s a breakdown comparing the most powerful Ryzen AI 9 HX processors from both generations, according to leaked information.
| AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX (Gorgon Point) | AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX (Strix Point) | |
|---|---|---|
| Cores / Threads | 12 / 24 (Zen 5) | 12 / 24 (Zen 5) |
| Max boost | 5.2+ GHz | 5.1 GHz |
| Cache | 36MB | 24MB |
| NPU | 55+ TOPS (XDNA 2) | 50 TOPS (XDNA 2) |
| GPU | 16 CU (RDNA 3.5) | 16 CU (RDNA 3.5) |
Gorgon Point seems to have a similar setup to previous models, featuring a 12-core processor divided between Zen 5 and Zen 5c architectures. It also includes the same RDNA 3.5 graphics processing unit and XDNA 2 neural processor, which handles artificial intelligence tasks.
Based on what we’ve seen, AMD appears to be improving peak clock speeds and AI performance, but don’t anticipate significant upgrades to the graphics processing built into their chips.
About three months after details emerged regarding the Gorgon Point leak, Videocardz discovered information on a shipping manifest website revealing details about AMD’s upcoming processors.
Recent leaks suggest that AMD is developing new Ryzen processors with 10 and 12 cores. These CPUs are anticipated to have a power consumption of 28W.
AMD also seems to be planning more affordable processors. A Ryzen 3 chip using the ‘Gorgon Point’ architecture was mentioned in a leaked document.
AMD Gorgon Point: FAQ
What is AMD Gorgon Point?
AMD Gorgon Point is the internal name for the next generation of Ryzen processors designed for laptops. These new chips are likely to be released as the “Ryzen AI 400” series, succeeding the current Ryzen AI 300 processors found in many laptops today.
When are AMD Gorgon Point mobile CPUs expected to launch?
From what I’ve gathered through recently leaked internal documents, AMD is currently aiming for a 2026 release for their next generation of mobile CPUs, codenamed ‘Gorgon Point.’
AMD recently showed off its Strix Point processor at Computex 2024, leading many to believe they are already working on new products for next year’s show.
What are the differences between Gorgon Point and Strix Point?
Currently, the chips seem very similar in terms of their basic design. They both use Zen 5 processors, RDNA 3.5 graphics, and XDNA 2 AI processing units.
We always expect new CPU generations to be faster and more efficient, and it looks like AMD has delivered with some of their latest chips, increasing both the boost clock speed and the power of the Neural Processing Unit.
What process node is AMD using for Gorgon Point?
Although it’s not official yet, slight differences between the new Gorgon Point chips and the Strix Point chips hint that AMD will likely continue using TSMC’s N4 manufacturing process for their future processors.
What is an APU and does it differ from a CPU?
You’ll probably notice that AMD’s mobile chips are sometimes called an APU and sometimes a CPU.
Over ten years ago, AMD created the term “APU” (Accelerated Processing Unit) to highlight its processors that combine a CPU and a graphics processor on a single chip. People often use “APU” and “processor with integrated graphics” to mean the same thing when talking about AMD products.
You may be familiar with Systems-on-Chip, or SoCs. These are complete computer systems built onto a single chip, including not just the processor and graphics card, but all the other necessary components as well.
