CNet:

The new models incorporate second-generation Ryzen Pro processors -- up to the Ryzen 7 Pro 3700U -- which incorporate the company's AMD graphics.

Though they use the same chassis and screens as their Intel counterparts, the Ryzen Pro U chipset doesn't yet support Thunderbolt 3 or alt-mode on USB-C, so the AMD models are bolstered with a more modern version of HDMI for monitor connections -- 2.0 vs. 1.4 -- two USB-A and a single USB-C, in contrast to the single USB-A and a second Thunderbolt-supporting USB-C connection on the Intel models.

    Considering 90% of end users wouldn't notice the difference, and most of the actual difference is because of useless crap added by Microsoft, since most users are not using OS features past Win98 functionality (yes, the underlying APIs enable features that weren't there, but ), it's a real shame.
