AMD Zen 5 Fire Range CPU surfaces inside next-gen gaming laptop — Ryzen 9000HX chip seemingly wields 16 Zen 5 cores

Dragon Range.

An unreleased 16-core offering from AMD based on Zen 5 has surfaced on Geekbench. The CPU was equipped on the Asus ROG Strix G16, presumably the upcoming 2025 edition. Hardware leaker Olrak suggests that this leaked processor is part of AMD's flagship Fire Range lineup for high-end gaming laptops.

Since we don't have much to back this information up apart from an OPN code, it's best to approach this leak skeptically. The leaked processor, reportedly boasting 16 cores, was tested as an Engineering Sample under the OPN Code "100-000001028-42_Y". This code should help us identify this processor should it surface in upcoming leaks. Nonetheless, there isn't much we can conclude about the performance, as the CPU was tested in Geekbench AI.
