We can't wait to compare the 10 nm Intel Ice Lake Aspire 5 and Swift 3 models to the upcoming 7 nm AMD Ryzen alternatives. The mid-range Ryzen 5 should just as well or better than a Core i7 for a lower starting price.

Nah, swift 7 is impossible since AMD doesn't have anything to take on the core M series
I personally will wait for swift 3 if it doesn't only have soldered memory... which it will have

soldered, but lp and 2-channel. exactly what we should expect from swift-like machines.
@RinzImpulse - I wouldn't say that. Core M is about 4.5-5W, AMD has the Ryzen Embedded R1102G which is 6W. So while its a bit more watts, it's close enough to compete with Core M.
The only downside is they are based on older zen and 14nm.

Yeah, but RAM setup is limited to 8 GB (with at least 1 GB shared with igp) and it's too low. They might introduce 12 or 16 GB model, but i doubt the R5 will get it

I never see any device that sold with the chip. Also, even if any, I don't think it's cheap (though, I know that if swift 7 class did sold, it wouldn't be cheap either)

same chip. supposed to be cheap as hell. bulldozer replacement in 250usd laptops.
Dear Notebookcheck,
Is there anyone who could ask Acer officials and provide us customers information about the version of HDMI in these models? Is it HDMI 1.4b or 2.0b? New Ryzen processors support HDMI 2.0b, but it isn't really that obvious if we are talking about Acer laptops.
Best regards.

I have the $199 acer aspire 5 with 3200U and hdmi can output 4k 60fps
