Recent disclosures from multiple sources indicate the development of AMD's Kraken Point APU, employing TSMC's advanced N4P manufacturing process. This next-generation APU, also referred to as Strix Point 2, is designed with an 8-core configuration, comprising 4 Zen5 and 4 Zen5c cores. It integrates a GPU based on RDNA3.5 architecture with 4 Workgroup Processors (WGP), equivalent to 8 Compute Units (CUs). This APU is anticipated to succeed the current Phoenix2 APU, offering enhancements in both CPU and GPU architectures.

The Kraken Point APU, identified by some as Strix Point 2, aligns with AMD's strategy to advance its APU offerings, following the Phoenix2 model. It features a transition from the Zen4 and Zen4c cores used in Phoenix2 to the newer Zen5 and Zen5c cores. Additionally, the GPU architecture will evolve from RDNA3 to RDNA3.5, and the GPU's scale is set to double from 2 WGPs (4 CUs) to 4 WGPs (8 CUs). Now compiled as follows:

APU name	Phoenix2	Kraken Point (Rumor)
Chip manufacturing process	TSMC 4nm	TSMC N4P
CPU architecture	Zen4 + Zen4c	Zen5 + Zen5c
CPU core configuration	2+4	4+4
GPU architecture	rDNA3	RDNA3.5
GPU scale	2WGP(4CU)	4WGP(8CU)

Initial information about the Kraken Point APU's specifications was shared by Source Everest (Olrak29_) on the X platform, with additional confirmation by sources Xino and Hoang Anh Phu. This collective insight points towards a significant step in AMD's APU development, marking an evolution in both processing and graphical capabilities.
