AMD’s next-generation Medusa Point laptop processor has tipped up in Geekbench, with 10 cores and clock readings which appear to have confused the software.
The entry identifies an AMD engineering sample in a Lenovo 22ETPF6DTA system running Windows 11 Pro. It scored 3,100 in the single-core test and 18,313 in the multi-core run, using Geekbench 7.1.0 for Windows AVX2.
According to TweakTown , the chip is expected to join AMD’s Ryzen AI 500 mobile family, with an announcement tipped for CES 2027. AMD has yet to confirm the final models or their clock speeds.
The processor has 10 cores and 20 threads, divided into clusters of four and six cores. These are reportedly four Zen 6 cores and six of the more compact Zen 6c variety.
Geekbench lists 1MB of L2 cache per core and 16MB of shared L3 cache. The machine was running the Balanced power plan, with 55.58GB of usable DDR5 memory reported at 5,188MT/s.
The clock figures need to be treated with some suspicion. Geekbench records a 2GHz base frequency and a maximum of 1,996MHz, which would make this a boost mode that goes backwards. TweakTown reckons the reading is probably an error associated with the early sample.
That makes any attempt to calculate spectacular performance gains per clock rather premature. The scores show what this particular machine returned, while its actual operating frequency and power consumption remain unclear.
The graphics could prove more interesting for buyers who want to play games without paying for a separate GPU. Medusa Point is rumoured to carry 10 RDNA 4m compute units, bringing a mobile version of AMD’s RDNA 4 architecture to the integrated Radeon.
This CPU benchmark includes no graphics results, so it offers no evidence of how the GPU performs in games.
