AMD unveiled its third-generation Ryzen technology for the first time at CES 2019, matching the performance of Intel's i9-9900K with a chip that consumed 30% less power, all with hints that AMD would offer up to 16 cores in this generation..

AMD has no plans to launch an APU using its multichip technology this generation.

Looking at the chip design AMD unveiled at CES, most analysts agreed that the company plans to offer products with two 7nm CPU arrays, for a total of 32 threads. For this reason, it also followed that AMD was planning to offer an APU with the same basic design, combining a 7nm CPU chiplet with a 7nm graphics chiplet to deliver a next-generation APU from the company.

According to Anandtech sources, it is confirmed that AMD has no plans to launch an APU using its multichip technology this generation. AMD APUs are designed for notebooks first, creating a model that combines eight Zen 2 cores with a large surplus of graphics chips to meet the needs of portable platforms. For its Zen 2-based APUs, AMD plans to use a different design than its Zen 2 processors without GPUs and for desktop PCs.

It was also confirmed that AMD's Zen 2 'Matisse' processors will be designed to have the same power consumption as the second-generation Ryzen generation, meaning that TDPs will reach 105W maximum, while low-power models could have up to TDP 35W.

AMD's Zen 2 APU models will hit the market long after the desktop.
