Benchmark results for AMD’s next generation of laptop processors have reportedly turned up in the Geekbench database, and they look strong for chips that are still engineering samples. The listings are for the Zen 6 family known as Medusa Point, and they appear to have been run on Lenovo systems that are part of its 2027 AMD lineup.
Nothing here is confirmed by AMD. Engineering samples run at unfinished clock speeds and firmware, so the final retail chips could score differently, and Geekbench entries can be edited or mislabelled.
Three configurations appear. The 10-core chip mixes four Zen 6 cores with six smaller Zen 6c cores, and the test machine carried 64 GB of DDR5 running at 5200. Two smaller parts, listed under the Medusa Point 2 and 3 names, have eight cores (two Zen 6 and six Zen 6c) and six cores (one Zen 6 and five Zen 6c). The smaller parts carry a different processor model identifier from the 10-core one, a detail that hints at a different silicon variant.
In comparisons against older chips, the 10-core sample led the Ryzen AI Max+ 395 and Ryzen AI 9 HX 470 by about 15% in Geekbench 6 single-core work, and by about 6% over the HX 470 in multi-core. Geekbench 7 data tells a similar story: on one core the sample beat the HX 370 by 32% and the Max+ 395 by 28%, and across all cores it was 21.5% faster than the 12-core HX 370 with only 10 cores. The eight-core part was about 24% faster than the HX 370 on one core, and the six-core part about 25% faster than the six-core Ryzen AI 5 340.
The lower-core parts hold up in multi-core work too. The eight-core sample drew level with the HX 370, a 12-core part, and the six-core one came out as much as 18% faster than that chip. These chips are aimed at mainstream laptops rather than the flagship tier, so the pattern matters more than any single score.
The graphics side also appeared. The 10-core listing includes an integrated GPU called RDNA 4m, with four compute units that mix RDNA 3.5 and RDNA 4 design blocks. It scored 22,249 in an OpenCL test. For comparison, the Radeon 840M scored 12,019, the Radeon 860M 20,642 and the Radeon 880M 26,814 in the same test.
AMD has not said when Medusa will launch. Lenovo’s 2027 laptops are the first systems expected to carry it, so retail benchmarks are still some way off.
