AMD Zen 6 Mobility CPUs Leak Reveals Gator Range and Medusa Families

AMD’s next wave of mobile CPUs has leaked, giving us a look at the Zen 6 generation that could reshape the gaming and premium laptop market by 2026–2027.

The roadmap, allegedly shared by OEM partner Seleno, shows three main families: Gator Range, Medusa Point, and Medusa BB. Each targets different segments, but all bring AMD’s 3nm Zen 6 cores – and in some cases Zen 6C and LP variants – into play.

Gator Range: Enthusiast Gaming & Compute

Slated to replace the Fire Range HX series, Gator Range will serve as AMD’s flagship gaming and high-performance lineup

. The leak points to up to 24 cores and 32 threads, aligning closely with desktop-level performance. Like Fire Range, TDPs above 55W are expected, meaning these chips are destined for powerful gaming laptops and mobile workstations.

Medusa Point: Premium Performance

For high-end and mainstream laptops, Medusa Point will take over where Strix Point leaves off. Built on a 3nm process and designed around FP10 platforms, these CPUs will reportedly offer up to 22 cores in a hybrid mix: 4 Zen 6, 4 Zen 6C, 2 LP Zen 6 within the SoC, plus an external Zen 6 CCD packing 12 cores. Graphics won’t be forgotten either, with up to 8 CU RDNA 3.5+ iGPUs onboard.

Interestingly, some enthusiasts argue that AMD’s leaked roadmap might be slightly off, suggesting a Gorgon Point refresh will first succeed Strix Point before Medusa fully arrives. If that’s true, Medusa could represent the true step forward in 2027 rather than a direct replacement.

Medusa BB: Mainstream Laptops

The more affordable Medusa BB family is positioned for Ryzen 5 and Ryzen 7 laptops. With up to 10 cores (4 Zen 6, 4 Zen 6C, and 2 LP Zen 6), plus up to 8 CU RDNA 3.5 graphics, it looks like a balanced choice for everyday gaming and productivity devices.

Release Timeline

While the roadmap suggests Gator Range, Medusa Point, and Medusa BB won’t land until 2027, AMD is expected to begin rolling out Zen 6 CPUs in 2026. That means the timeline could vary depending on product categories and OEM partnerships. More details may surface at AMD’s Financial Analyst Day later this year.

Bottom line: if the leaks hold true, AMD is gearing up to deliver desktop-grade power to laptops, with a strong mix of enthusiast-class and mainstream offerings – keeping Intel and its Nova Lake ambitions on notice.
