AMD Higherup Confirms "Zen 3" Client Processor Launch Within 2020
AMD Executive VP for Computing and Graphics, Rick Bergman, in a company blog post, confirmed that the first client-segment processors based on the next-gen "Zen 3" microarchitecture will launch within 2020. "So, what's next for AMD in the PC space? Well, I cannot share too much, but I can say our high-performance journey continues with our first "Zen 3" Client processor on-track to launch later this year. I will wrap by saying you haven't seen the best of us yet," Bergman writes, in a blog post detailing AMD's renewed efforts to capture the consumer and commercial desktop segments with the new Ryzen 4000G and Ryzen PRO 4000G processor series launched this Tuesday.
A lot seems to be riding on the success of the Ryzen 4000G and Ryzen PRO 4000G segments, so much so, that the new processors are launched exclusively to the high-volume OEM channel, and will be available only through pre-builts from the likes of Lenovo, HP, and Dell. AMD in a recent press meet revealed that it finds the OEM segment about 5 times the size of the retail DIY segment, and the 4000G-series chips, with their integrated graphics and CPU core-counts of up to 8, are more relevant for pre-builts, at least initially. The company does intent to bring these chips to the DIY retail channel, although it didn't give out any tentative dates. Having launched the Ryzen 4000H and 4000U series mobile processors through 1H-2020, and now 4000G series desktop chips, the company hopes to make a dent with upcoming retail crests such as "Back to School," Black Friday/Cyber Monday, and Holiday. AMD had earlier disclosed in its Ryzen 3000XT press meet that "Zen 3" is coming this year, and earlier this month in a tweet by CEO Dr Lisa Su.

So 720P? woo hoo.
Anyway with DDR5 being a year or 2 away, faster ram is not too far away.
Even Covid-19 didn't slow people demand on getting Cloths and Shoes!!!
Long time ago they play diferent rols, when Intel had tic toc and amd was struggle with fx series, now they switched places, Intel is continuously increasing tdp and ghz, amd, on the other side is catching up with nm shrinking, arch improvement and raising the ghz as they can. Maybe with zen 3, or maybe not. Time will tell.
Is there any practical point to this other than a theoretical discussion of what these iGPUs can do, when paired with crazy expensive RAM you wouldn't have any reason to buy to begin with? If they performed at 1050 level with run of the mill 3200 or even 3600 ram I could see it being impressive, but investing in expensive ram seems to negate ... you know, the whole value proposition of buying an APU.
