The the Ryzen mobile series marks a monumental update to AMD’s mobile processor line. AMD’s current Bristol Ridge APUs, based on the dated Excavator cores, aren’t even close to being competitive against Intel’s current generation products. The new AMD Ryzen APUs take advantage of the newer 14nm FinFET manufacturing process, a completely rehauled processor architecture and AMD’s new Vega graphics architecture.
AMD’s Ryzen Mobile APUs are expected to launch in 3Q2017.
