  "summary": "An alleged AMD Zen 6 Medusa Point APU has surfaced on Geekbench, showcasing a unique core configuration with 10 cores and 20 threads. The CPU is divided into two clusters: four standard Zen 6 cores and six Zen 6c cores, which are similar to Intel's E-Cores. The Zen 6 Medusa Point features 32KB L1 instruction and data caches, 1MB L2 cache, and a shared 16MB L3 cache across all cores. It operates at a base clock of 2GHz with a lower boost clock, and supports the full AVX-512 instruction set. The APU was tested on a Lenovo laptop paired with 64GB of DDR5 RAM. The Zen 6 Medusa Point scored 3,100 points in the single-core test and 18,313 points in the multicore test, outperforming the AMD Ryzen AI Max+ 395. AMD is reportedly planning to announce its Zen 6 CPUs at the start of CES 2027.",
