AMD Zen6 systems are getting closer. The first tests have appeared

Geekbench is a popular program used by hardware manufacturers and reviewers. It allows you to easily check the CPU performance of your computer or smartphone. Therefore, it is a frequent source of leaks about new systems. This time we are talking about AMD, or more precisely, one of the first processors based on the Zen 6 architecture.

In the database of the mentioned benchmark there is an entry regarding the processor marked as “AMD Eng Sample: 100-000001713-31_N”. And although this particular OPN number is not yet listed in the manufacturer’s official lists, it has already appeared in transit logs. Therefore, we know that this is a mobile APU from the Medusa Point family with a TDP of 28 W.

We’re talking about a 10-core and 20-thread system with 32 MB of L3 cache. Everything indicates that AMD will follow Intel’s footsteps and we will see configurations of four Zen6 cores, four Zen6c cores and two LPE (very low power consumption) cores.

However, the benchmark result itself does not say much about real performance. The tested unit is a very early engineering sample, and its clock speeds were extremely low – from 1.39 to 2 GHz. Much more can be expected from TSMC’s 2nm lithography, so it is difficult to even compare these points with CPUs currently available on the market.

AMD has previously confirmed that the Zen6 architecture will initially debut in the EPYC Venice server series, which is scheduled for the second half of this year. Consumer processors, both the Medusa Point mobile and Olympic Ridge desktop processors, will likely be unveiled later, at CES 2027 in January.
