AMD Ryzen 9 8940HS APU appears for the first time: but not the Zen5 you want

As usual, at the CES conference early next year, Intel and AMD will release a new generation of mobile notebook platforms, but this time, Intel will launch Core Ultra in advance, and AMD will bring a "vest". The roadmap shows that AMD will launch a new product code-named "HawkPoint", but it is actually an upgraded version of the existing Ryzen 7040 series code-named Pheonix, and the new Zen5 architecture will not be available until the middle of next year and early next year.

A sample of a new AMD processor appeared in GeekBench.No. 100-000001319-50, detection code Pheonix, 8 cores 16 threads, level 3 cache 16MB, base frequency 4.0GHz, acceleration frequency exceeding 5.1GHz, which is the highest 5.2GHz, and the core display detection is Radeon780M.

These parameters are exactly the same as the existing Ryzen 97940HS, so there is a high probability that it is the Ryzen 98940HS. In theory, the official version will have a higher frequency.

NotebookCheck also claims that the Ryzen 98940HS GeekBench6 single-core and multi-core running scores can reach 2596 and 13258, compared to the Ryzen 97940HSIncreases of 4.4% and 12.1%.
