AMD’s 7nm Ryzen 4000 CPUs are here to take on Intel’s 10nm Ice Lake laptop chips

With laptops, OEM deals matter a lot more than with desktop CPU&#x27;s. Here&#x27;s to hoping that OEMs don&#x27;t gimp their Ryzen models with worse screens, smaller batteries and slower, single-channel Ram as they are wont to do.<p>I&#x27;m excite for my next laptop to have a Ryzen, depending on benchmarks of course.

Already tweeted the following comment...<p>----<p>@TheVerge<p>@cgartenberg I think you are muddling some things... There are Ryzen processors in the 2000, 3000, and 4000 series that use the tech from the prior generation.<p>The 3200g for example, is a Zen+ (12nm) processor in the 3000 series...<p>----<p>There are also Zen2 processors in the 3000 series. The processors you are referring to are Zen2 (7nm) processors that are in the 4000 series, that will land ahead of Zen3 (7nm+) later in the year... the article doesn&#x27;t clearly explain this.

the thing is those 4000 cpus are really 3000 ones. intels laptops are always 1 gen ahead. amds laptop is always one gen behind. its kinda annoying. granted zen 2 (or 3000) was a good architecture so it should compete nicely but I would expect intel to actually be more efficient still because its newer.

Wow, they released a processor with 64 cores?! that&#x27;s crazy. AMD is crushing it!
