AMD Krackan Point APUs Rumored To Use Zen 5 Monolithic Design On N4P Process

wccftech.com:

AMD's next-gen APUs codenamed Krackan Point are allegedly going to feature a monolithic design that utilizes the Zen 5 core architecture.

An alleged slide published by Ditto_55 seems to point out that the next-generation Krackan Point APUs will be utilizing TSMC's N4P process node. This is a refined version of the N4 (4nm) process node technology which offers a 6% performance boost and a 22% boost in power efficiency over 5nm (N5). This information is currently labeled as a rumor so take it with a grain of salt.

Besides that, it looks like the AMD Krackan Point APUs will retain the Monolithic design. The chips will leverage the latest AMD Zen 5 core architecture and there are reports of a hybrid design with a Halo product making use of a chiplet architecture akin to Strix Point Halo which was recently leaked a few days ago. The Halo product will make feature more cores on the CPU and GPU side & higher TDPs but will be featured in enthusiast-grade designs whereas the standard parts will retain their mainstream positioning.

The successor to Strix Point will launch close to 2025 with Zen 5 cores on the 4nm process node. This new design will be known as the Krackan Point (Kraken). There will also be an update on the entry-level & low-power side with 4nm Escher APUs replacing Mendocino. The lineup successors are as below:

We know that AMD's Strix Point will be the first family to feature Zen 5 cores in a hybrid fashion so Krackan seems like a refresh of that before moving into the Zen 6 era. These chips are likely to be competing
