AMD showed off their future mobile processor to company partners, which someone leaked online. Their 2026 chip goes by the code name Gorgon Point and will replace the current Ryzen AI 300 Strix Point. This new processor keeps the same basic parts but runs much faster for single tasks. The leaked slides reveal Gorgon Point can pack up to 12 CPU cores based on Zen 5 or Zen 5c designs.
The processor includes graphics built on RDNA 3.5 architecture and an AI chip using XDNA 2 technology. These core technologies match what AMD already uses but with better performance across the board. AMD included their test results showing modest gains for multi-thread tasks. This suggests they kept the same setup of four Zen 5 cores plus eight Zen 5c cores as the current chip.
The big news comes from massive jumps in single-thread speed. Two main ideas explain this boost. First, AMD might have cranked up the clock speeds thanks to better power management. Second, they may have upgraded the Zen 5 cores with full 512-bit floating point abilities, similar to what Fire Range and Strix Halo processors use. The earlier Strix Point chip used limited 256-bit paths for AVX512 instructions to save power.
The AI processor runs faster than before, reaching over 55 AI TOPS. AMD decided to unlock full AI performance on all versions of Ryzen AI chips using this design. Looking at everything, Gorgon Point updates Strix Point in the same way Hawk Point updated Phoenix Point—keeping the same foundation but improving performance where it counts. The secret slides make clear that AMD plans to build on its current success rather than start fresh.
