Intel's Lakefield chips are smaller than the usual CPUs, as they stack most components in order to reduce size and improve energy efficiency, much like smartphone SoCs nowadays. According to new 3DMark tests, these chips are certainly not meant for gaming, as they barely match a Celeron G3900 + Nvidia MX250 combo, but they will most likely take energy efficiency to the next level.

... but it hasn't launched yet ... it has been "announced" at CES, but launch date for the individual parts is still unconfirmed. I saw an update list somewhere for all the 2020 launches and it just said Q1/Q2 2020 for Ryzen 4000 mobile parts.
I imagine laptop vendors might get them first.
