AMD Zen 5 “Ryzen” Mobility CPUs Leak Out: Fire Range In 8 To 16 Core With 55W TDPs, Strix Point In 28W APUs

AMD has begun distributing evaluation units of its upcoming Ryzen mobility line, which will be based on Zen 5. Among the models included are the Strix Point and Fire Range families.

AMD’s Latest Fire Range Boasts Up To 16 High-Performance Zen 5 Cores at 55W, Strix Point APUs Feature Zen 5 Cores at 28W in FP8 Socket

Discovered by @Harukaze5719, there are at least four distinct variations, with two for each lineup, along with their corresponding OPN IDs. These variations consist of two Fire Range CPUs and two Strix Point APUs. Both the Fire Range and Strix Point families will be based on the upcoming Zen 5 core architecture, with the former targeting the high-end mobility segment and the latter focusing on the mainstream notebook market. The following are the OPN codes:

• 100-0000001335 – Strix Point (1) 28W B0 FP8 Ryzen 9
• 100-000000994 – Strix Point (1) 28W B0 FP8 Ryzen 9
• 100-000001028 – Fire Range 16 Core 55W B0 Ryzen 9
• 100-000001029 – Fire Range 8 Core 55W B0 Ryzen 7

Momomo_US was able to discover two EPYC Turin “Breithorn”SKUs on nbd.ltd as well.

• 100-000001535-03 (128 Core / 16 CCD + 1 IOD)
• 100-000001538-03 (32 Core / 4 CCD + 1 IOD)

Examining the Strix Point WeUs initially, the description does not provide any specific details but does indicate that both APUs have a default TDP of 28W. They are also identified as Strix Point (1) and utilize a classic or monolithic package. Additionally, there is a premium Strix Point option, known internally as Strix Point (2), that employs a chiplet-based design. These APUs are currently in the B0 revision and are compatible with the FP8 platform, which supports both Phoenix and Hawk Point APUs.

The upcoming AMD Strix Point (1) APUs will boast up to 8 cores and 16 threads, utilizing the cutting-edge Zen 5 core architecture. These APUs will also be equipped with up to 12 compute units, utilizing the latest RDNA 3+ graphics architecture. Additionally, the AI NPU on these APUs has been upgraded to offer 3 times the compute power of the current Hawk Point, rated at 16 TOPs. Here are some of the key features to anticipate from the Strix Point APUs:

• Zen 4 (4nm) Monolithic Design
• Up To 8 Cores
• 12 RDNA 3+ Compute Units
• XDNA Engine Integrated
• 2H 2024 Launch (Expected)

The upcoming AMD Fire Range lineup will include the most high-end mobility offerings and will replace the current Dragon Range lineup. Similar to the Dragon Range, these chips will utilize desktop-grade chiplet dies and will be available in both Non-3D and 3D V-Cache options, but with the newer Zen 5 core architecture. The lineup will consist of two WeUs – a 16 Core (Ryzen 9) and an 8 Core (Ryzen 7) WeU, both with a 55W power rating. Here is what can be expected from the Fire Range lineup:

• Zen 5 (5nm) chiplet design
• Up To 16 Cores
• RDNA 3+ Graphics Cores (2 CU?)
• 1H 2025 Launch (Expected)

At the moment, AMD’s priority is to release Strix Point APUs for laptops, with shipments scheduled to start later this year and retail availability to follow in early 2025. Additionally, Fire Range Mobility WeUs, which were announced at CES 2025, are expected to hit shelves in the second half of 2025.

According to a roadmap presented by Analyst firm, Canalyst, Strix Point APUs are projected to be released in mid 2024, followed by the Kraken Point lineup (a refresh of the Strix Point series) in the first half of 2025. While these are approximate timelines, multiple rumors and leaks suggest that these chips will indeed be launched during this timeframe. This means that AMD will face tough competition in the mobile market, with Intel, Qualcomm, and Apple also preparing to introduce new chips for the mobility AI and PC sectors.
