Hacker Group RansomHub Attacks Clevo and Leaks Chip Roadmaps for Intel and AMD
TapTechNews June 8th news, the hacker group RansomHub released a statement this Tuesday, announcing that it had attacked the notebook common mold manufacturer Clevo and stolen 200GB of internal confidential information, mainly involving notebook design files/product roadmaps and other information.
According to the PPT released by RansomHub, Clevo has obtained the CPU and GPU roadmaps of AMD, Intel, and Nvidia's next-generation chips.
First look at Intel, the company plans to launch the next-generation ArrowLake-HX series mobile processors around the fourth quarter of this year or the first quarter of 2025 (most likely CES 2025), which is expected to be equipped with a maximum of 8 LionCove performance cores and 16 Skymont efficiency cores, similar to the upcoming ArrowLake-S desktop processor.
Data shows that ArrowLake-HX will provide a 55W version, and Intel also seems to plan to launch a Refresh version of ArrowLake-HX to provide stronger specifications and higher AI performance.
Considering that these chips need to be used with a strong enough discrete graphics card, the additional AI performance improvement may not be particularly important. Similarly, the ArrowLake-HX Refresh version is expected to debut at CES 2026.
In the mainstream market, Intel's ArrowLake-H and ArrowLake-U series seem to be released along with high-end SKUs at CES 2025, but the ArrowLake-H series will later have an upgraded version, which will be launched about 2-3 quarters after the release.
Both ArrowLake-H and its upgraded version will use a 28-45W TDP, while the power consumption of the ArrowLake-U series is 15W and can be compatible with the pin design of the previous-generation MeteorLake series, but the next-next-generation PantherLake series will use a全新的 pin arrangement.
Based on the currently known information, the PantherLake-H and PantherLake-U series are expected to be released at CES 2026 and are expected to bring higher AI performance.
It is worth mentioning that although Intel has completed the ArrowLake lighting test under the Intel 18A process, the actual listing time of these chips may be postponed to the second half of 2025. We may see the PantherLake series on the desktop platform first at that time, rather than mobile processors.
Finally, there are also updates on the thin and light market segment, including Intel's LunarLake series Core Ultra 200V series. These chips will be configured with 17W and are预计 to be launched in the second half of this year (third quarter and later), and the time point basically meets the expected.
On the AMD side, the road map shows that most of the next-generation product lines will be available in 2025. The highest-end FireRange series will adopt the Zen5 core architecture, and the SKU is similar to the desktop version of the Ryzen 9000 series GraniteRidge processor, and will continue to provide a 16-core version, and at the same time will also launch an X3D version using 3D cache technology.
Then, followed by the Strix series, among which StrixHalo will have 16 Zen5 cores and 45-50 TOPS of AI performance, while the StrixPoint series (TapTechNews note: that is, the already released Ryzen AI 300 series) will have 12 Zen5 cores and 50 TOPS of AI performance.
StrixPoint will be available as early as July 2024, while the Clevo common mold model may be later, and it is expected to be sold in 2025.
Finally, there is also the KrackanPoint series APU, which will be equipped with 8 Zen5 cores but retains the same 50 TOPS AINPU.
StrixPoint and Krackan APU will be compatible with FP8 (LPDDR), while StrixHalo will be compatible with FP11 (LPDDR5), and FireRange will be compatible with FL1 (DDR5).
