Something to look forward to: Computer hardware enthusiasts sifting through AMD repositories have uncovered potential details about unannounced next-gen technologies. According to two reliable tipsters, AMD is developing multiple new CPU lineups for desktop and laptop sockets. The findings point to a busy 2025 roadmap spanning everything from high-end Threadrippers to low-power Arm chips. Noted tipster Olrak29 first identified the next-gen Threadripper 9000 series, codenamed Shimada Peak, in a now-deleted X post. Some details surfaced earlier when Gigabyte and Asus added support for the chips to existing sTR5 motherboards. AMD plans to unveil the high-end Threadripper 900WX lineup at Computex 2025 later this month or during its Advancing AI event in June. Olrak29 claimed that AMD will offer desktop and laptop versions of Gorgon Point APUs featuring Zen 5 CPU cores and RDNA 3.5 graphics. The desktop variants, branded as Ryzen 9000G, will use the AM5 socket as successors to the Ryzen 8000G series, while the laptop models will target the FP8 socket. The leaker revealed that the mobile Gorgon Point series will include three versions – Gorgon Point 1, Gorgon Point 2, and Gorgon Point 3. Gorgon Point silicon is a refresh of Strix Point. AMD also plans to release Kraken Point 2, a refresh of the original Kraken Point silicon.

Speculation suggests these chips will target entry-level, low-power markets and marketed under the Ryzen AI 400 series. // Related Stories AMD is reportedly preparing new Zen 5-based Epyc processors for the AM5 socket. Codenamed Grado, these chips are set to succeed the Epyc 4004 series and could carry the Epyc 4005 branding. Tom's Hardware speculates they will use Granite Ridge (Ryzen 9000) silicon, but definitive details remain unclear. The leak also points to new Epyc processors codenamed Fire Range, designed for embedded applications and compatible with the FL1 socket. While there's no confirmed launch timeline, tipsters suggest AMD could announce at least some of the new chips at Computex, where the company also plans to detail its Ryzen PRO CPUs and the Radeon 9060 XT GPU. InstLatX64 reports that AMD's Zen 6-based Medusa Point APUs will use the FP10 socket, making them incompatible with existing platforms. AMD plans to launch Zen 6 products late next year, but it's unclear if Medusa Point will be part of the initial lineup.
