Much ado about nothing!! Apart from the fact that there is a regression in single core performance on two of the SKU's. That's a first!!! At least AFAIK. Anyone complaining that Intel's 13th to 14th Gen increase in performance was underwhelming with mostly just an a small increase in mhz, should think that AMD are doing the same, but even worse.

Funny world we live in.

You can't be sure of any regression from a sample size of 1.

We've already seen AMD refresh Cezanne and Rembrandt repeatedly, with minimal improvements, such as 5825U "Barcelo" and 7730U "Barcelo-R". This is the Phoenix version of that. The actual new gen is Strix Point and that's coming later in the year, maybe Q3 2024.

The only surprise to watch out for is a possible +60% improvement in XDNA performance in Hawk Point, seen on a leaked slide.

Yes, that is true. And of course until the actual release, it's more speculation than anything. Still though, Geekbench is pretty linear, and given the launch is around the corner, I don't know if there would enough time to increase in performance to be had before release. We can wait and see for more benches.
