Title: AMD Medusa Point laptop CPU with Zen 6 cores makes Geekbench debut.
Post by: Redaktion on March 16, 2026, 16:15:47
A 10-core AMD Medusa Point CPU has just shown up on Geekbench, likely the AMD Ryzen AI 9 565. Medusa Point is slated to use Zen 6 CPU cores and is expected to debut sometime in 2027.

QuoteUnfortunately, the iGPU is not slated to get an RDNA5 upgrade, with numerous rumours stating it will stick with RDNA 3.5.
RDNA4 would have been ok, as it does support hardare-based, DLSS-like, upscaling (FSR4), but RDNA3.5 does not (AMD is also ignoring INT8 upscaling, which is still a huge improvement): youtube.com/watch?v=VPMOjdvmHMk ("FSR4 on RDNA3 on Windows!!!

No at least RDNA4, no buy.

And look at that, another embarrassment for AMD: youtube.com/watch?v=v70p700D94U ("AMD's Latest Showcase Shows How Far Behind They Really Are /Rant - Crimson Desert Ray Regeneration")

Including RDNA2 and RDNA3 users still being upset because still no FSR4 INT8 on RDNA3:
Quote from: youtu.be/v70p700D94U?t=71.., at least the INT8 version not being available on their GPUs, despite the fact we know it absolutely does work.

Memory width is the thing to watch, but this site seems unaware of the concept since old school HEDT.
