Recently, Everest (@Olrak29) from the X platform reported that on October 18th, a test record for the ASUS motherboard model KoratPlus-KRK was found in the Geekbench AI score library, maintained by the benchmarking website Geekbench. The test results indicate the inclusion of a suspected six-core AMD Kracken Point processor, configured as a 3+3 dual-cluster CPU. Based on AMD's typical product naming, the KRK designation in the motherboard model likely refers to the Kracken Point processor series, which AMD is expected to introduce at CES 2025. The Kracken Point processors are designed with a CPU architecture supporting up to four Zen 5 cores paired with four Zen 5c cores, totaling eight cores. However, the CPU information from the recent Geekbench test shows that the processor tested does not use the full 4+4 core setup. Instead, it has a dual-cluster structure of three Zen 5 cores and three Zen 5c cores, totaling six cores. This suggests a partial implementation of the Kracken Point architecture, possibly to balance performance and power efficiency.

Additional information from the domestic source Jinzhu Upgrade Package reveals that AMD plans to release two versions in the Kracken Point series: the Ryzen AI 7 350, expected to feature the full 4+4 core configuration, and the Ryzen AI 5 340. The Ryzen AI 5 340 is reported to have a reduced setup with a six-core CPU and a 4CU core graphics unit. The processor observed in the Geekbench AI score database is most likely the Ryzen AI 5 340 model, given its 3+3 core structure. This aligns with the expected specifications and release timeline, positioning the Ryzen AI 5 340 as a mid-tier option within the Kracken Point lineup.
