It wouldn’t be so interesting if it weren’t for the processor powering it. We are talking about a family representative AMD Kraken Pointwhich will be part of the series Ryzen AI 300.
The CPU under review was an engineering sample equipped with 6 cores and 12 threads with a base clock of 2 GHz i up to 4 GHz in boost mode. So we’re talking about a model AMD Ryzen AI 5 340. It is worth emphasizing that it is a combination of 3 efficient cores (Zen5) and 3 energy-saving ones (Zen5c). This is complemented by the graphic layout Radeon 840M (4 CU).
There is no need to focus on the performance itself in Geekbench – the test concerned AI tasks, and Kraken Point has the already familiar NPU system in the form of XDNA2which is available as part of the AMD Strix Point series.
The Reds have already confirmed that new processors are planned for early 2025.
