Current Ryzen 7040U has a maximum of eight cores
The AMD Strix Point mobile processor has appeared in the Geekbench database.
The new product does not yet have a name and is hidden behind the code 100-000000994-14_N. The software confirms the latest rumors and leaks that the number of cores in Strix Point processors will be increased from the current eight to twelve. Let us remind you that Strix Point represents the main energy-efficient Ryzen x000U line. Presumably, the new products will be called either Ryzen 8050U or Ryzen 9050U, depending on the release date.

The tested APU is clearly far from the production sample, since the frequency was only 2 GHz. Accordingly, there is no need to talk about performance, because the result does not correspond to what users will ultimately get.
Ryzen Strix Point should also receive iGPUs with 1024 stream processors based on the RDNA 3.5 architecture, that is, they will be more powerful than the current generation of APUs on all fronts, and quite significantly.
