AMD confirms Krackan CPUs coming to affordable Copilot+ laptops in 2025

The current offering of AI laptop processors “Copilot+PC” It is formed by the last Strix Point APUs that shape the AMD Ryzen AI 300. Equipped with 50 TOPS NPUs, the latest Zen 5 and Zen 5c cores, and RDNA 3.5 graphics, this is AMD’s most powerful platform for this type of device and will compete with the upcoming Intel Core Ultra 200V “Lunar Lake” or Qualcomm’s Snapdragon X Elite.

However, all of these SoCs are aimed at computers with certain features and prices that exceed 1,000 euros. Qualcomm already wanted to take a first step by expanding the Snapdragon X Plus line to give life to laptops with Copilot+PC that would be around 700-800 euros, and now it seems that AMD wants to do the same by launching the Krackan APUs in 2025.

According to what they say in computerbaseinitially leaked as “Kraken Point” will arrive early next year and are expected to maintain the XDNA 2 NPU with 45-50 TOPS and RDNA 3.5 graphicsalthough instead of 16 CUs it will have 8 CUs. As for the CPU part, instead of a total of 12 Zen5/Zen5c cores, we will have 8 (4 Zen5 + 4 Zen5c) with support for LPDDR5X-8000 and 16 MB of shared cache.

Kracan/Kraken Point will coexist with Strix Point in the most economical range of Copilot+ PC
