This is not their whole announcement. Desktop Zen 2 and Navi will be coming later in the week.
I wonder why they're still using the Athlon name for entry-level Zen chips instead of introducing a Ryzen 1 tier.
Also, wow, odd to see ASUS putting some spotlight on their TUF gaming brand for once. Usually they're pushing that garish RoG gear.
Hmm, I do kind of need a new laptop, the old IVB/GF650 one I've got is pretty decrepit. Maybe one of these will be good. I don't use my laptop as a primary gaming machine anymore so I probably don't need a discrete GPU, but a good APU might be good for catching up on the backlog while on the go, especially with a Freesync screen.
Really want that chromebook cpu be 4 cores for 6 watts and take 8GB of ram. That way I can have a low cost low power server able to run a VM or two which can be the size of an rasberry Pi and be clustered inside of a desktop.
AMD thinks the Chromebook market is important so they're launching two... 28nm excavator processors with GCN 1.2 GPUs? Nice.
S'about all they need, really...
Probably has to do with DDR3 not being implemented on Ryzen silicon. And for how small the margins are for that kind of thing, excavator isn't unreasonable.
TDP has changed from what it used to be. You can't really compare 1:1 for either company (sadly).
