Gainsborough sample puts six Zen 6 cores and 24 GB memory in one pool
9,600 MT/s memory sits in the Gainsborough sample with six Zen 6 cores and a 2,400 MHz integrated GPU.

Notebookcheck points to OpenBenchmarking record 0807gpufull, which names AMD OPN 100-000001930-12_Y with six cores, 12 threads, and a 2.4 GHz clock.
The record lists four 6 GB SK Hynix packages for 24 GB at 9,600 MT/s, and a 2,400 MHz integrated GPU.
Motherboard and vBIOS are AMD GBR-FF6-SKT and 113-GBRGENERIC-001.
Wccftech described the memory as LPDDR5 and framed the sample as a likely next-generation Steam Deck part.
The filing does not make the form-factor claim. It reports SK Hynix packages and a 9,600 MT/s rate, while the underlying record leaves the memory form factor unconfirmed.
Steam Deck linkage rests on codename clues, not on statements from AMD or Valve.
Power is the constraint.
The handheld APU shares one memory pool with CPU and GPU. The 9,600 MT/s memory will draw power that the battery must absorb.
The record proves a validation board ran, but it does not prove a retail chip, a power budget, a GPU compute-unit count, or a battery result.
The Zen 6 identification comes from microcode 0x0BD0C000, which maps to Family 1Ah, model DCh, stepping 0.
Model DCh sits in the reserved span for newer Family 1Ah designs, but the field cannot separate full Zen 6 cores from dense Zen 6C.
For a handheld, that distinction matters more for the power path than the headline core count.
The missing numbers include cache sizes, TDP, memory timings, bus width, GPU compute units, sustained clocks, temperatures, and battery life.
GpuTest at 1,024 by 768 in windowed mode records GiMark 3,871, FurMark 3,508, and TessMark 9,319, but those scores do not map to Steam Deck frame rates.
Retail decisions require official clocks, power limits, and a confirmed retail device.
The sample is a validation board, not a Steam Deck 2.
The buyer is constrained by missing power and memory-form data, so the 24 GB figure is a ceiling until AMD confirms TDP and timings.
