The company will use new Zen 6 technology to fit more cores than ever before on its chips. Previous AMD processors maxed out at eight cores, but Zen 6 chips can pack up to twelve cores per section. The upcoming Medusa Point chips will come in a slightly larger package than the current models. Mid-range Ryzen 5 and Ryzen 7 models will feature ten total cores with different types for various tasks. High-end Ryzen 9 models might reach twenty-two cores total, far more than anything AMD currently offers for laptops. These chips will keep using eight graphics cores based on upgraded RDNA 3.5 architecture. This marks a step back from the sixteen graphics cores in the current Strix Point chips. Testing shows eight graphics cores perform about twenty-three percent slower than twelve cores, not half as slow as the numbers might suggest. [/QUOTE]
