MilkyWay Home is a distributed computing platform that’s been the source of several AMD leaks in the past, since the platform is regularly used by engineers for testing unreleased hardware. In this latest leak, the processor is identified as an engineering sample with the ID “100-000000994-03_N (AMD Family 26 Model 32 Stepping 0)”. This indicates that the sample belongs to AMD’s upcoming Strix Point series of APUs featuring Zen 5 cores.
This is possibly the first time we are seeing an engineering sample in the wild for this product family, set to succeed Zen 4-based “Phoenix” processors for thin and light laptops, and marking an increase in CPU core counts for this segment of ultraportables.
