new lenovo 17-330 with bristol ridge. no ryzen. inspiron 5775 disappeared from the market. no vivobook 17 . no aspire 5/7 with ryzen. zero information about 45w mobile. same chip btw, the only chip, not much r&d needed. after a YEAR. amd radeon mobile-28nm chips everywhere in a newest laptops.
amd engineers-good job guys, well half of you, rtg guys are not on the top.
amd management=garbage.
so i dont know what to say about future 7nm. maybe I'll watch weird perpetual Lisa Su smile and listen to the infinite we are proud, proud proud, leadership, proud proud, and again not see my desired products? I don't even know the face of the head of Intel by the way , but he sells the goods to me on demand.
I'd say AMD aren't in a hurry to put out new Ryzen processor laptops.
Look at it from AMD's perspective. The laptop market seems to all look distastefully at your product; they all have seen your past products so when they see any AMD product, they will think cheap, and low quality. Most of the notebookreview forum poster will s*** on AMD products; even as the new Ryzen 2000s came out, the stigma is that it still is a value brand and lags generations behind Intel. And then there's the laptop manufacturers; they have all historically taken your CPUs and APUs and done them no favours by slapping at most maybe 2 fans and a single heatpipe and the crappiest RAM and HDD they could find. As a company, would you want to spend the R&D cost and time into developing (which they have done to some extent) AND the cost of manufacturing a real good mobile CPU, but then have the manufacturers put them in shitty laptops and then have the market scoff at the final product in disgust?
So I believe that AMD currently are focusing all R&D and silicon production into the server and computer processor market. The reason is that they are attempting to beat Intel at something, so that they can shake off the past stigma of being the bottom of the barrel hardware company. When they've finally beaten Intel in the server market, and the CPU market - and I really mean beat Intel in terms of performance, number of cores, and price/value - only then will manufacturers start maybe thinking AMD processors are worth the time and money to develop proper laptops for them.
