According to several reports by @momomo_us and @harukaze5719, an AMD shipping manifest spilled the beans on a plethora of new Zen 5 CPUs, including desktop and mobile variants. The manifest reveals that AMD is working on new , 170W Zen 5 Granite Ridge CPUs, 128W Zen 5-based Strix Point APUs (possibly called Strix Point Halo), and a mysterious new mobile lineup codenamed Fire Range sporting up to 16 Zen 5 cores and a 55W TDP. Zen 5 should arrive later this year to take on the best CPUs for gaming.
These shipments are most likely engineering samples rather than production-ready models. Regardless, the manifest confirms that development on these CPUs is well underway. Starting with APUs, there are five total SKUs: three Strix Point and two Fire Range models. The Strix Point chips encompass Ryzen 7 and Ryzen 9 models with 128W TDPs featuring B0 steppings, so these are desktop parts. The Fire Range chips consist of 8-core and 16-core SKUs, also featuring a B0 stepping but with a much lower 55W TDP.
The shipping manifest also has several Granite Ridge models, one sporting six cores and a 105W TDP with an A0 stepping. There are also a pair of eight core 170W chips listed with a B0 stepping listing, but a codename wasn't given. We suspect these are also Granite Ridge CPUs.
