Alleged AMD Ryzen "Granite Ridge" Engineering Samples Pop Up in Shipping Manifests

Shipping manifests appear to be great sources of pre-release information—only a few hours ago, the existence of prototype AMD "Strix Point" and "Fire Range" mobile processors was highlighted by hardware sleuth harukaze5719. A related leak has appeared online fairly quickly after the discovery of laptop-oriented "Zen 5" chips. momomo_us joined in on the fun, with their exposure of speculated desktop silicon. Two brand-new AMD OPN codes have been linked to the upcoming "Granite Ridge" series of AM5 processors.

100-000001404-01 is likely an eight-core/ sixteen-thread "Zen 5" Ryzen CPU with a 170 W TDP—a stepping designation, B0, indicates engineering sample status. The other listing, 100-000001290-21, seems to be an A0-type engineering sample—leaked info suggests that this a six-core/twelve-thread (105 W TDP) next-gen mainstream desktop processor. AMD is likely nearing the finish line with its Ryzen 9000-series—a new generation of chipsets, including X870E, is reportedly in the pipeline. Additionally, VideoCardz posits that a refresh of 700-series boards could be on the cards. "Granite Range" CPUs are expected to retain the current-gen 6 nm client I/O die (cIOD), as sported by "Raphael" Ryzen 7000-series desktop processors.

Strix Halo with 40CUs has me more excited than any other piece of hardware in recent memory....this thing could really shake up the entry level dGPU market

I don't think so; it would likely be limited to premium(expensive) laptops with soldered LPDDR5X @ 256-bit bus, the standard dual-channel configuration found in desktops and laptops might not provide enough bandwidth to "feed" such a powerful iGPU. Btw, It would be interesting to see a handheld device equipped with such APU, despite my personal preference for larger screens. :toast:

Possibly on package, like Apple and now Intel are doing it. So that the laptop maker doesn't get to choose an inferior memory option.

While I too hope it goes into a laptop or SFF desktop, the specs look like it's supposed to go into a next generation console.

The 105W is 6-core according to the source.

120W I read for the top tier apu. Still way less than gaming laptop with discrete gpu.

It seems you missed the the train, those come with 300W+ power supply units... never wondered why?

“here’s your 40CU iGPU, mated to single channel DDR5!”

"which can't do anything useful without an Nvidia dGPU anyway!"
