AMD Ryzen 9000G series teased: Strix Point APUs for desktop PCs teased for Q4 2025

AMD is reportedly working on releasing its Strix Point APUs to the desktop, under the Ryzen 9000G branding according to the latest rumors.

AMD CEO Lisa Su was recently asked if we'd see the company's new flagship "Strix Halo" APU on the desktop, which she confirmed with "yes, yes, of course!" and now it seems that Strix Point on the desktop will come first with the Ryzen 9000G series APUs.

In a new post on X by leaker @9550pro, we're hearing that there is a new AM5 APU coming and that it should be release in Q4 2025. As it stands, the highest core/thread count we've had on an AMD APU has been 8 cores and 16 threads, but the newer Strix Point APU features 12 cores and 24 threads of Zen 5 processing power (and a far better integrated RDNA 3.5 GPU, and more).

AMD's Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 "Strix Point" APU packs 12C/24T of Zen 5, and the Radeon 890M "RDNA 3.5" integrated GPU, so we shouldn't expect any major hardware differences between the laptop and handheld version of Strix Point, and the purported desktop version of Strix Point aka Ryzen 9000G series APUs.

We could see power limits increased, CPU clock speeds and GPU clock speeds increased with a desktop-made Strix Point APU. AMD has the Radeon 890M integrated GPU inside of Strix Point clocked at up to 2.9GHz, so we could see 3.0GHz+ and above on the desktop (better cooling, more power, etc).

AMD is expected to launch its new Ryzen 9000G "Strix Point" APUs in Q4 2025, and we will definitely be keeping a close eye on this story as it rolls out.
