A Geekbench listing has revealed an unannounced AMD processor carrying the OPN code 100-000001713-31. The platform is identified as Plum-MDS1, which points to Medusa Point, AMD’s next-generation mobile APU family based on Zen 6. The chip is a 10-core, 20-thread part with a 2.4 GHz base clock, although the recorded test behavior shows it running closer to 1.3-2 GHz, consistent with an engineering sample still early in development.
Cache details in the listing suggest a notable step up for this class of mobile chip. Each core gets 1 MB of L2 cache, and the L3 comes in at 32 MB, up from 24 MB on Strix Point and 16 MB on Hawk Point. This is 50% more cache than the current 10-core parts like the Ryzen Artificial Intelligence 9 365. The test system had 32 GB of memory installed, though the memory type was not specified.
The benchmark scores themselves offer little insight at this stage. The chip spent most of the test hovering around 1.39 GHz and barely peeked above 2 GHz, well below what a final retail part on a 3 nm process would run at. That makes the current results too preliminary to support performance conclusions.
Separate shipping manifests from Planet3DNow associated with the Medusa codename suggest a 4C+4D layout with standard and density-optimized cores, though that does not fully explain the 10-core count shown in Geekbench. One possible explanation is that two additional low-power cores are placed in the IO die, bringing the total to ten. The processor is expected to be a 28 W TDP mobile chip for the FP10 socket, and Medusa Point is described as combining Zen 6 CPU cores with RDNA 5 and RDNA 3.5 graphics, along with an updated NPU. A launch around CES 2027 would fit AMD’s usual cadence, but the Geekbench entry indicates that testing is already underway.
