AMD announced at the end of 2023, the new range of processors with Ryzen 8040 graphics card Hawk’s Point and we have already seen this with certain laptops and mini PCs. This new generation offers 1.4 times better performance in artificial intelligence processes, performance which will be exceeded when the next generation is launched at the end of this year, Point Strix, of which some rumors have already started to circulate and which will have Zen5 cores
The Gammoburst site searched through LinkedIn profiles to analyze information released by major semiconductor companies to find information on the major manufacturers’ future plans.
This research bore fruit since one of the analyzed profiles showed information showing 5 AMD product code names that have not yet been announced either by the company or previously in any other leak: StrixA0, Sarlak, StrixB0 , Kraken and SoundWave.
Strix A0, Sarlak, Strix B0, Kraken and Sound Wave
Thanks to this leak we already know what the next generation will be: StrixA0, followed by Sarlak and Strix B0 or at least that’s what the information broadcast by this media seems to indicate. The Strix APUs will introduce Zen5 and Zen5c cores with up to 40 compute units and based on the RDNA3.5 architecture and will represent a significant update in AMD’s processor lineup with integrated graphics.
But we will also see the range Kraken Pointa codename that is rumored to have an 8-core processor (4 Zen5 and 4 Zen5c) and RDNA3.5 architecture and will be manufactured using a 5nm process.
The next generation, which would arrive in 2026, points to the code name Sound wave. The only thing we know is that it will be manufactured using a 3nm process. From what we know so far, the Zen5 Nirvana core uses a combination of 3 and 4nm nodes, while the Zen6 core, known as Morpheususes 2 and 3 nm nodes.
The Hawk Point range is part of the Ryzen 8000 nomenclature. For the moment, we do not know if Strix Point will also be part of it or if, on the contrary, it will make the jump to the Ryzen 9000. What seems clear is what does Sound Wave. will be a series product Ryzen10000
As we mentioned at the beginning of this article, this information is based on information analyzed by the media Gamm0burst, so it is subject to change, a source which specifies that Strix, Sarlak and Kraken use the same chiplet design, a new different design. to the present.
AMD plans to begin the manufacturing phase of the new Strix range for the second quarter of 2024, although it will not be until the third quarter of this year, when production will begin to launch it on the market before the end of the year . Once again, it trusted TSMC to carry out the manufacturing process. In the future, AMD could also trust Intel, which announced a few weeks ago that it was open to manufacturing for any manufacturer, thus opening its process to third-party functions.
