AMD Ryzen AI 9 465 APU Geekbenched, "Gorgon Point" Offers Negligible Performance Bump

AMD's not-yet-launched "Ryzen AI 400 series" seems to be nearing finalized form, given an uptick of leaks across the latter half of 2025. Yesterday morning, an ASUS Vivobook S 15 (M5650GA) test platform posted further "Gorgon Point" details within the Geekbench browser database. The sort of next-gen ultra-thin laptop was driven by a Ryzen AI 9 465 APU. This particular SKU also turned up via a CrossMark entry, late last month. Looking at fresh Geekbench 6.5 scores, the evaluated ASUS device achieved overall 2780 (single-core) and 12001 (multicore) digits. When compared to a direct predecessor, the unreleased mobile chip only holds an advantage in single-core stakes.

It is possible that the Ryzen AI 9 465 mobile processor was put through its paces under unfavorable conditions—e.g. running on immature drivers and firmware. The direct forebear, Team Red's readily available Ryzen AI 9 365 "Strix Point" mobile processor holds a 474 point advantage in multicore scenarios. Industry observers reckon that the "Gorgon Point" generation will deploy with improved onboard XDNA 2 NPUs, albeit combined with familiar "Strix Point" credentials. The forthcoming Ryzen AI 9 465 SKU seems to share its predecessor's base specifications: 10 cores/20 threads, maximum 5.0 GHz boost/turbo clock, and a Radeon 880M iGPU. Amusingly, Geekbench has identified the leaked part as belonging to the "Strix Point" mobile family—it is widely believed that "Gorgon Point" will emerge as a mild refresh over the "previous" generation.

OEMs are still selling Raptor Lake and Zen 2 processors, and yet they also demand AMD and Intel have a new generation name every year. (Or at least AMD and Intel are delivering that, so I assume someone is asking for it.)

What is a “negligible performance leap”? ‘Performance improvement’ is a term, which becomes ‘performance leap’ only when improvement is quantifiably big enough for a hyperbole to require an introduction.

Using ‘performance leap’ with ‘negligible’ makes it a superfluous term with a hyperbole where need for a hyperbole is already negated by the term ‘negligible’

It should be “Negligible performance improvement”.

Comparing laptops can be tricky as the laptop itself will have an impact on performance due to throttling if it gets too hot.
