A new hexa-core processor under AMD's Krackan Point (KRK) lineup of APUs has emerged at Geekbench - thanks to Olrak at X. The CPU wields a rather unconventional 3+3 hybrid configuration - taking a different approach than AMD did with its Phoenix 2 APUs.
Krackan Point is AMD's cheaper alternative to Strix Point - packing upwards of eight cores and an eight Compute Unit (CU) RDNA 3.5-based iGPU (Integrated GPU). Krackan Point utilizes a hybrid-core design to save valuable die space, featuring up to four Zen 5 and four Zen 5c cores. The six-core offering has an OPN code of "100-000001600-40_Y," corresponding to a Ryzen 5 APU per previously leaked shipping manifests. The benchmark, being an AI test, isn't that exciting once you consider that Krackan employs the same 50 TOPS XDNA 2 NPU as Strix Point.
