A benchmark entry for AMD's Ryzen AI 5 435G has appeared in the Geekbench database, marking the first public performance data for the upcoming Ryzen AI 400 desktop series.

The Ryzen AI 5 435G is a 6-core, 12-thread APU designed for the AM5 socket. AMD specifications list the chip with a 2.0GHz base clock, a boost frequency up to 4.5GHz, and a 65W TDP. The unit features Radeon 840M integrated graphics based on the RDNA 3.5 architecture with 4 compute units, alongside an XDNA 2 NPU rated for up to 50 TOPS.

According to the Geekbench entry shared by @Olrak29_ (via VideoCardz), the processor achieved a single-core score of 2620 and a multi-core score of 10594. The log indicates the CPU reached a maximum frequency of 4094MHz during the test, which sits below the official 4.5GHz boost specification. The entry also confirms a hybrid-style core configuration featuring two CPU clusters: one with 2 cores and another with 4 cores. The processor was tested on a JGINYUE B850M Snow Dream WIFI motherboard equipped with 32GB of memory and running Windows 11.

Compared to public performance averages, the Ryzen AI 5 435G single-core score of 2620 slightly exceeds the Ryzen 5 8600G average of 2493. Multi-core performance is comparable to the 8600 G's 10857 points, though it trails the 8-core Ryzen 7 8700G, which averages 13478 points. AMD previously confirmed that Ryzen AI 400 series desktop systems are expected to be available from OEMs starting in Q2 2026.

KitGuru says: Considering the maximum frequency was slightly below its specifications, we assume the chip will probably score higher once it hits retail.

The reasons for skipping the flagship Arrow Lake Refresh CPU are unclear, but it does look incredibly impressive. Intel Core Ultra 9 290K Plus Scores 3747 Points in Single-Core and 26117 Points in Multi-Core Geekbench Tests, Bringing a Strong Uplift Over Ultra 9 285K Intel just launched its Arrow Lake Refresh lineup, but as you might know, the launch skipped the Core Ultra 9 290K Plus, which was supposedly the new flagship chip in the series. Intel unveiled the Core Ultra 7 and 5 series SKUs, bringing significant improvements in their specifications, delivering promising results. Unfortunately, the Core Ultra 9 […]

The first signs of AMD's next-generation “Medusa Point” mobile silicon have surfaced on Geekbench, providing a first look at the architecture expected to arrive in laptops next year. While the benchmark scores are negligible due to the chip running at a low clock speed of roughly 1.39GHz, the technical specifications revealed in the entry confirm major architectural shifts.

The chip is listed on Geekbench (via Wccftech) as a 10-core, 20-thread part, similar to the Ryzen AI 9 365 and Ryzen AI 9 465. Given that all cores appear to have SMT (two threads per core), none of them should be low-power cores dedicated to background tasks.

Perhaps the most significant piece of information taken from the Geekbench entry is the cache upgrade. The sample features 32MB of L3 cache, a 50% increase over current 10-core parts like the Ryzen AI 9 365 (24MB) and double that of the older Hawk Point (16MB). Each core also has 1MB of L2 cache. Medusa Point is rumoured also to feature a new type of integrated graphics, combining RDNA 5 and RDNA 3.5 IP with an updated NPU to meet the increasingly demanding local AI requirements of 2027-era operating systems.

While a launch isn't expected until 2027, the presence of a functional engineering sample in a public database suggests that AMD is well into the validation phase of the 3nm Zen 6 process.

KitGuru says: The increased cache is a nice upgrade but shouldn't be the only one on the CPU side of this APU. What other specs do you expect to see improve with the new generation of Ryzen AI mobile APUs?
