AMD is dropping Medusa Point mobile chips in both 28-watt and 45-watt flavors, according to a leaked shipping manifest, which means the mainstream laptop space gets way more options. The higher-end models pack up to 22 cores through a weird combo of 12 regular Zen 6 cores plus some classic, dense, and low-power cores thrown in there, while budget Ryzen 5 and 7 versions stick with fewer cores but keep the same RDNA 3.5 graphics with eight compute units.
The whole lineup moves to the newer FP10 socket that sits between the tiny FP8 and massive FP11 sizes, and the split between high-power and low-power variants makes sense since cheaper models never needed all that juice anyway. Ryzen 9 chips probably claim the 45-watt bracket while everything else hangs out at 28 watts for better battery life.
