AMD's tech website announced new processor names. Data miner InstLatX64 found these names first. The main chips are called Gorgon Point and come in three types. These chips were just rumors before AMD made them official.
The company plans Threadripper chips with the name Shimada Peak. These will replace Storm Peak TR 7000 chips. Shimada Peak uses a Zen 5 design for people who need strong computers. Both old and new Threadripper chips carry the Pro label for work users. These changes will help with tasks that require many cores to work on at once.
AMD also confirmed Medusa1 chips using the Zen 6 design. More important are the Gorgon Point 1, 2, and 3 chips for laptops. Gorgon Point 1 refreshes Strix Point processors for the 2026 release. Gorgon Point 2 fits the cheaper Ryzen AI 5 range for people who want fair prices. All use the Zen 5 design for better speed when gaming or working.
AMD will bring Gorgon Point to desktop computers with AM5 connections late in 2025. This matters because AMD can sell one chip design across different markets. The company also makes Grado server chips for the EPYC 400X line with Zen 5 design. These help data centers run efficiently with Intel products.
