Moore’s Law Is Dead was the first to leak AMD’s upcoming Ryzen 8000 families. In that leak, we saw Strix Point Monolithic and Strix Halo (MCM).
Strix Point is based on a single CCD, similar to Phoenix Point. On the other hand, the Halo configuration uses a multi-chiplet approach. Today, bilibili leaker Golden Pig Upgrade Pack has confirmed the specifications initially revealed by MLID.
Strix Point Monolithic APU
AMD has lifted the core count from 8 cores on Phoenix to 12 cores on Strix. This leads to 4xZen5 and 8xZen5C cores. Both types of cores have SMT enabled, allowing a total of 24 logical cores/threads. The CPU should have a total of 24MB of cache, available to all 12 cores.

As for the iGPU, the highest-end Strix Point APU will go up to 8WGPs or 16 Compute Units based on RDNA3.5. All of this is packed inside two CCXs, or a single CCD for a monolithic package.
This is merely a confirmation of what MLID leaked. The TDP is expected to range between 15W and 45W, as such we should see many different SKUs. Similarly, Strix Point will be powered by a 20 TOPS AI Engine and rocks a 128-bit LPDDR5X memory controller.

The expected performance lies somewhere near an RTX 3050 Max-Q. That is quite impressive and a significant uplift from the Radeon 780M. As far as the release date is concerned, AMD is expected to launch Strix Point Monolithic sometime around Q2–Q3 next year.
