At the Consumer Electronics Show, AMD confirmed details about products coming out in 2018:

  1. Ryzen 3 Mobile APUs: January 9th
  2. Ryzen Desktop APUs: February 12th
  3. Second Generation Ryzen Desktop Processors: April.
  4. Ryzen Pro Mobile APUs: Q2 2018
  5. Second Generation Threadripper Processors: 2H 2018
  6. Second Generation Ryzen Pro Desktop Processors: 2H 2018

The second generation "Zen+" products use a "12nm" process. Zen 2 and Zen 3 will use a "7nm" and "7nm+" process and will be out around 2019-2020.

Two cheaper Ryzen-based mobile APUs have been released. The Ryzen 3 2300U has 4 cores, 4 threads, and the Ryzen 3 2200U has 2 cores, 4 threads, making it the first dual-core part in the entire Ryzen product line. All of the Ryzen mobile parts have a 15 W TDP so far.

AMD has also lowered the suggested pricing for many of its Ryzen CPUs. For example, $299 for Ryzen 7 1700 from $329. The Threadripper Ryzen TR 1900X is down to $449 from $549.

Intel has officially launched five new Kaby Lake CPUs with AMD Radeon Vega graphics and 4 GB of High Bandwidth Memory. Each CPU also includes Intel's HD 630 GT2 integrated graphics, which is expected to be used for lower power video encode/decode tasks.

    Looking at (used and new) laptops, I am always confused by AMD's chip naming. With Intel its simple: Duo, Centrino, i3, i5, i7. Guess I must try wikipedia for a list of AMD chips, print it out and haul it along when I go shopping. :( None of the "gaming laptops" in my market are AMD, all Intel i7.

    AMD is basically copying Intel's naming scheme, and there are a grand total of 4 Ryzen mobile chips, much less than previous launches as far as I can recall:

    Ryzen 7 2700U
    Ryzen 5 2500U
    Ryzen 3 2300U
    Ryzen 3 2200U

    Not very different from i3, i5, i7. And that's every single 14nm Ryzen mobile chip right there.

    Getting anything older than that means going back to 28nm Bulldozer/Excavator crap with much worse instructions per clock. So if you don't do that... you have a whopping 4 laptop CPUs to remember (at least for the moment).
