Based on the most recent NBD shipping manifest, the 28W low-power iteration of AMD's Medusa Point processor, which is built upon the Zen 6 architecture, has surfaced. This development validates the specifications that had been leaked previously. The shipping list from last month initially disclosed that the processor would be split into two distinct series: one with a high Thermal Design Power (TDP) of 45W and another with a low TDP of 28W. The 28W variant that has just come to light is an early A0 stepping model. In the world of processor development, this indicates that it has progressed to the internal testing and verification stage.

When it comes to specifications, the 28W series is anticipated to be the cornerstone for the Ryzen 5 and Ryzen 7 lineups. It boasts a hybrid core architecture. This architecture combines 4 performance cores, which are designed to handle demanding tasks with high speed and efficiency, 4 efficiency cores that are optimized for less intensive operations to save power, and 2 low-power cores, which are specifically engineered to consume minimal energy. In total, this setup gives the processor 10 cores.
