AMD's Zen5 processor roadmap for 2024-2025 outlines the company's direction, emphasizing AI capabilities and the merging of Accelerated Processing Units (APUs) with graphics architectures such as RDNA1, RDNA2, and RDNA3.5, and AI accelerators like XDNA1 and XDNA2.

In 2024, AMD plans to introduce the Dragon Range architecture targeting high-performance gaming systems. 2025 will see the debut of the "Fire Range" series, underpinned by the latest Zen5 architecture. Of note are two APUs, Strix Point and Strix Halo (Sarlak). Strix Point is slated for a late 2024 release, following Phoenix. It will be built on a 4 nm node, combining 12 "Zen 5" CPU cores, an RDNA3+ iGPU, and an XDNA2 AI accelerator, delivering 45-50 TOPS performance, aligning with the expected requirements of Windows 12 OS.

Launching in 2025, the Strix Halo APU, designed on a 4 nm node, will compete products like Intel's Arrow Lake and Apple's M3 Max. Its specifications feature 16x Zen 5 CPU cores, 40 RDNA3.5 Compute Units, 80 AI accelerators, 40 Ray accelerators, and an XDNA2 AI accelerator producing 45-50 TOPS performance.

The more enthusiast compute segment will introduce Hawk Point in 2024 and Kraken Point in 2025. Hawk Point is an update from Phoenix with 8x Zen 4 CPU cores, an RDNA3 iGPU, and a 16 TOPS XDNA accelerator. In contrast, "Kraken Point" provides an 8-core "Zen 5" CPU, RDNA3+ iGPU, and a 50 TOPS XDNA2 accelerator.

For more affordable notebooks priced under $500, the Ryzen 7035 series will continue in 2024, based on the 6 nm "Rembrand-R" silicon. This series will be succeeded by Escher in 2025, possibly derived from Phoenix. It's a lot of info.
