Why is AMD out of the game, and will they make a comeback?

All new laptops and laptops released the last six months have a combination of a Intel CPU and a NVidia GPU. AMD is simply not there.

Will they make a comeback? I'm seriously asking. They did release the rather weak RX 550 and Ryzen desktop CPUs are there. Will there once again be AMD powered laptops? Or have they just given up?

Laptop Ryzen CPUs are coming Soon(tm) laptopmag.com/articles/amd-ryzen-faq

Ryzen+Vega APUs could be quite attractive.

Their desktop and laptop APUs are going to be amazing this time around.

Raven Ridge is Q4 2017 for laptops. SP5 BGA socket.

>soon

> Q4 2017

Make up your minds. It's either "soon" or realistically early next year.

It's Q4 2017 for SP5-based Raven Ridge. Google ayymd's roadmaps.

Apple tho

a downclocked 1700 @45W would crush Jewtels 4core laptop chips

I kinda regret buying Taichi now, some 40W cpu + 60W gpu in one package would be enough for any of my games.
Also 200W HBM+APU/SoC fucking when?

Navi? Probably Navi.

>a downclocked 1700 @45W

Perhaps, but it's still a matter of cooling.

That's not exactly great, essentially we're looking at a year or more of overpriced Intel+NVidia laptops. Oh well. "Q4 2017" would mean laptops on the market Q1 or Q2 2018.

For laptops with no dgpu, the new AMD apu looks troubling to Intel. Kaveri still has a better igp than Kaby and the new Zen cores are miles better than the Steamroller? Kaveri was based on.

Raven Ridge will have Vega-based APU, so it's even worse for Intel.

that's what I was implying.
Amd's new igp is going to stomp every existing igp on both sides and the performance gap on the cpu side has narrowed drastically. 60fps pleb gayman on an apu is going to be a reality.

Just a question, the Ryzen 5 runs on 65W TDP, is it possible to put one into a notebook?
>5820K performance in a notebook

I really hope for this since there aren't any notebooks with more than four cores (Except workstation and heavy gaming models with Xeons).

Maybe? It won't be compact, 65w is still a lot of heat to dissipate.

Yea. And considering Zen is extremely efficient, CPU itself will perform better than competition.

They might lower it to 45W, which is the common TDP of Intel CPUs. A six core Ryzen i5 with 3 GHz will be faster than any i7.

It is with some pretty heavy cooling, but you can run R7's at 35W TDP with all cores at 1.8 GHz and 3.3 GHz single core turbo, that TDP is the same as a lot of laptop CPU's

45w tdp was manageable in laptops in 2011, I'm sure it's basically a non issue now.

Ultrabooks with R3's. True 4 core 8 threads on Ultrabooks.

Intel is finished

I'm just waiting on them so I can get the ultimate ITX HTPC
