AMD’s next-generation mobile processors have been popping up in leaks for a while now, and a fresh shipping log sighting adds more weight to what earlier reports have been saying about the Zen 6-based “Medusa Point” lineup.
The new entry points to an early “Medusa 1 A0” silicon stepping. In plain terms, that label suggests this is first-revision hardware still going through validation and internal testing. What makes the listing especially interesting is the power target: 28W. That lines up with previous leaked plans that split Medusa Point into two categories, a higher-power 45W family and a lower-power 28W family.
This 28W Medusa Point variant is expected to use the FP10 socket, the same platform associated with the higher-TDP chips. On the CPU side, the lower-power models are said to focus mainly on Ryzen 5 and Ryzen 7 class products, using a hybrid-style core layout described as 4 “Classic” cores, 4 “Dense” cores, plus 2 low-power cores. Meanwhile, the 45W lineup is expected to lean more toward Ryzen 9-tier configurations, scaling much higher in core count and reportedly reaching up to 22 cores thanks to a dedicated 12-core compute die approach.
From a market perspective, the 28W Medusa Point family looks positioned as a successor-style step to AMD’s current efficient mobile offerings, targeting thin-and-light laptops and mainstream performance where battery life and thermals matter. It could also land in the same competitive space as upcoming budget-oriented mobile processors from Intel’s future lineup.
There’s still plenty we don’t know, but one reason Medusa Point may be able to span a wide range of models is the rumored monolithic chip design, which typically makes it easier to create multiple SKU variations for different laptop segments.
On graphics, expectations are more measured. Current information suggests Medusa Point will keep RDNA 3.5 for integrated graphics rather than introducing a brand-new iGPU architecture. The iGPU is expected to feature 8 compute units. More substantial changes to integrated graphics—such as designs tied to UDNA or RDNA 5—aren’t expected to arrive until much later, potentially not before 2027. With RDNA 4 discussed as a discrete-only focus, RDNA 3.5 appears to remain the integrated graphics path for Zen 6 mobile chips.
Quick Medusa Point (Zen 6 mobile) expectations based on current leaks:
Architecture: Zen 6
Core counts: roughly 10 to 22 cores depending on model class
Power targets: 28W (low TDP) and 45W (high TDP)
Integrated graphics: RDNA 3.5 with 8 compute units
Socket: FP10
As more validation samples and platform details surface, Medusa Point is shaping up to be one of AMD’s most flexible mobile CPU families in years—covering both efficient 28W laptops and higher-performance 45W designs under the same broader Zen 6 umbrella.
