One popular hardware boffin on X <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/Kepler_L2\/status\/1932718768750211210\" target=\"_blank\">reckons it might be Strix Point<\/a> or Gorgon Point for desktop, but another <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/hms1193\/status\/1932799914851119256\" target=\"_blank\">implies otherwise<\/a>. Place your bets, I suppose.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s also worth noting that, <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/wccftech.com\/asus-agesa-1-2-0-3e-am5-bios-update-improved-amd-ryzen-performance\/\" target=\"_blank\">according to Wccftech<\/a>, the latest <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/rog-forum.asus.com\/t5\/amd-600-series\/x670-x870-resource-thread\/td-p\/901576\/highlight\/true\/page\/454\" target=\"_blank\">beta BIOS updates from Asus<\/a> support the same new CPUs, too. That would make sense, because these feature Agesa &#8216;ComboAm5PI 1203e&#8217;, and the MSI BIOS updates to Agesa &#8216;PI-1.2.0.3e&#8217;.<\/p>\n<p>AMD&#8217;s Strix Point chips are the accelerated processing units (APUs) currently found in some of the <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/best-handheld-gaming-pc\/\" target=\"_blank\">best handheld gaming PCs<\/a> and <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/best-gaming-laptop\/\" target=\"_blank\">gaming laptops<\/a>. It combines a CPU with a pretty decent GPU in one chip\u2014that&#8217;s what makes it an APU. Gaming laptops often have a discrete GPU alongside this, but it&#8217;s good to have the integrated one as an option for less intensive tasks and games to save power.<\/p>\n<p>One of the great things about APUs, apart from being good for efficient handhelds and so on, is that if they come to desktop, they give people a cheap entry into PC gaming. We&#8217;ve long recommended AMD APU builds as some of the <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/best-cheap-gaming-pc\/\" target=\"_blank\">best cheap gaming PCs<\/a> to buy if you&#8217;re on a tight budget. That might mean a Ryzen 8000G chip or even a Ryzen 5000G one if you&#8217;re on a very tight budget.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"van-image-figure inline-layout\" data-bordeaux-image-check >\n<div class='image-full-width-wrapper'>\n<div class='image-widthsetter' style=\"max-width:1920px;\">\n<p class=\"vanilla-image-block\" style=\"padding-top:56.25%;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"T6wbbUZVeQDyQsZF3otPiE\" name=\"ryzen_7_8700g.jpg\" alt=\"A photo of an AMD Ryzen 7 8700G APU on a grey desk\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/msis-latest-bios-update-hints-at-new-amd-cpus-and-im-hoping-its-strix-point-apus-coming-to-desktop.jpg\" mos=\"\" align=\"middle\" fullscreen=\"\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" attribution=\"\" endorsement=\"\" class=\"\"><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption itemprop=\"caption description\" class=\" inline-layout\"><span class=\"caption-text\">An AMD Ryzen 7 8700G APU <\/span><span class=\"credit\" itemprop=\"copyrightHolder\">(Image credit: Future)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Currently, Strix Point only exists in mobile form, but just a couple of months ago, we heard a rumour that <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/hardware\/processors\/amd-reportedly-plots-late-2025-launch-for-desktop-version-of-the-nifty-little-strix-point-apu-we-like-so-much-in-laptops-and-handhelds\/\" target=\"_blank\">AMD is planning a late 2025 launch for desktop versions<\/a>. If it shares the same spec entirely, this would mean a desktop APU that packs in up to 16 RDNA 3.5 compute units alongside a multi-core CPU. It would give desktop PC gamers on a budget the option to have a bash at many modern games at 1080p without having to buy a discrete graphics card at all.<\/p>\n<p>Gorgon Point, for those wondering\u2014the other option mentioned\u2014is just a rumoured Strix Point refresh, although it&#8217;s <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/hardware\/processors\/amds-next-gen-gorgon-point-apu-outted-and-seemingly-sticks-with-rdna-3-5-graphics-which-is-disappointing-for-handheld-gaming-pcs-if-accurate\/\" target=\"_blank\">said to have marginally better performance<\/a> and a better NPU.<\/p>\n<p>As I said earlier, though, at least one hardware boffin on X\u2014Hassan Mujtaba, Editor at Wccftech\u2014reckons this Agesa update isn&#8217;t referring to Ryzen 9000G. Whether that means it&#8217;s not referring to Strix Point or Gorgon Point, or just that the new chips won&#8217;t be called 9000G, is unclear.<\/p>\n<p>We&#8217;ll just have to wait and see, of course, but if Strix Point on desktop is just around the corner, gamers on a budget could have something to look forward to. Plus gamers with discrete graphics, I suppose, depending on the price point for the APUs, because there&#8217;s benefit to having integrated graphics as a backup in case (God forbid) anything happens to your graphics card.<\/p>\n<div class=\"product\"><a data-dimension112=\"b80c52b6-9f84-4498-97b9-d7bacdcc265e\" data-action=\"Deal Block\" data-label=\"Best CPU for gaming\" data-dimension48=\"Best CPU for gaming\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\"><\/p>\n<figure class=\"van-image-figure \" >\n<div class='image-full-width-wrapper'>\n<div class='image-widthsetter' style=\"max-width:1920px;\">\n<p class=\"vanilla-image-block\" style=\"padding-top:100.00%;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"6YnzywGGRfcnNjLz2FRjx9\" name=\"1646306533.jpg\" caption=\"\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/msis-latest-bios-update-hints-at-new-amd-cpus-and-im-hoping-its-strix-point-apus-coming-to-desktop-1.jpg\" mos=\"\" align=\"middle\" fullscreen=\"\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1920\" attribution=\"\" endorsement=\"\" credit=\"\" class=\"\"><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong><br \/><\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/best-cpu-for-gaming\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-dimension112=\"b80c52b6-9f84-4498-97b9-d7bacdcc265e\" data-action=\"Deal Block\" data-label=\"Best CPU for gaming\" data-dimension48=\"Best CPU for gaming\" data-dimension25=\"\"><strong>Best CPU for gaming<\/strong><\/a>: Top chips from Intel and AMD.<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/best-gaming-motherboards\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Best gaming motherboard<\/strong><\/a>: The right boards.<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/the-best-graphics-cards\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Best graphics card<\/strong><\/a>: Your perfect pixel-pusher awaits.<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/best-ssd-for-gaming\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Best SSD for gaming<\/strong><\/a>: Get into the game first.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/hardware\/processors\/msis-latest-bios-update-hints-at-new-amd-cpus-and-im-hoping-its-strix-point-apus-coming-to-desktop\/\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>High-end graphics cards and CPUs are all very exciting, don&#8217;t get me wrong, but it&#8217;s the budget components that really get my blood flowing.
