AMD Ryzen AI 7 350 'Krackan' APU Leak Highlights Budget Performance with Zen 5 Architecture

The unconfirmed benchmark data reveals an 8-core, 16-thread design with RDNA 3.5 graphics, set to compete in the mainstream laptop market.

The AMD Ryzen AI 7 350 'Krackan' APU, reportedly spotted on Geekbench, features a hybrid 8-core design with Zen 5 and Zen 5c architectures.
The leaked benchmark suggests a 5.05GHz boost clock, 16MB of L3 cache, and integrated RDNA 3.5 graphics with 8 compute units.
Performance tests indicate a 14% improvement in single-core performance over AMD's previous Ryzen 7 8845HS, but multi-core performance remains comparable.
The APU appears targeted at budget and mainstream laptops, competing with Intel's Lunar Lake Core Ultra 7 258V processors in this segment.
AMD is expected to formally unveil the Krackan Point series, alongside other next-gen hardware, at CES 2025, though details remain unconfirmed.
