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

[T0@st]

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.

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.

"leaked info suggests that this an eight-core/ sixteen-thread (105 W TDP)"

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!"
