Ryzen 4000 for notebooks will launch in early 2020

AMD President and CEO Lisa Su confirmed on Sunday that the company will unveil its new generation of Ryzen 4000 series processors in early 2020. The launch will kick off with the company's next generation of Ryzen 4000 series notebook processors, which AMD plans to release on a slew of new notebooks at CES in January of next year.

These APU chips will introduce the company's 7nm Zen 2 microarchitecture into laptops, however the company doesn't stop there. AMD intends for Ryzen 4000 processors to be released in mid-2020 after Zen 2's debut on laptops.

Recall that AMD APU processors have a lag of a generation compared to other desktop processors. This means that Ryzen 3000 for laptops are based on 12nm Zen + and not 7nm Zen 2. With Ryzen 4000 for laptops, these chips will become Zen 2 based with 7nm node.

This cadence follows what the company did in 2019, first introducing its Ryzen 3000 series laptop parts in January, in time for the annual OEM upgrade cycle, and then with its new generation Ryzen 3000 series based on Zen 2 7nm for desktop computers.

What is rumored at the moment is that Zen 3-based Ryzen 4000 will offer an increase in IPC performance of 8% and 200Mhz higher clock speed. We will keep you informed.
