Today, AMD announced the first members of its 2019 mobility line-up encompassing all notebook segments: 2nd Gen AMD Ryzen 3000 Series Mobile Processors powering ultrathin and gaming notebooks; AMD Athlon 300 Series Mobile Processors powering mainstream notebooks with the fast and efficient "Zen"3 core; and optimized 7th Gen AMD A-Series processors, elevating performance for mainstream Chromebooks. In addition, AMD announced that starting this quarter, gamers, creators and enthusiasts will be able to install Radeon Software Adrenalin software to bring the latest GPU features and game optimizations to all systems powered by AMD Ryzen Processors with Radeon Graphics.

"Users expect mobile PCs that excel at both everyday tasks and compute-heavy experiences, and with our latest mobile processor portfolio AMD offers exactly that across all levels of the market," said Saeid Moshkelani, senior vice president and general manager, Client Compute, AMD. "Notebook users want to experience the latest modern features while streaming, gaming, or finishing work faster. Enabling breakthrough entertainment experiences, AMD is pleased to enable a wide range of AMD powered notebooks than ever that deliver on those expectations with blazing fast performance, rich graphics, and long battery life."

So essentially they are trying to do with Intel on mobile what they did to them on desktop, except that this might work out even better. Nice.

Those Bulldozers are a really bad idea. I guess they had those chips and didn't knew what to do with them. Lowered their frequencies, manage a 6w TDP and thought to sell them at cost instead of throwing them away.

Here's what I want.
A 15.6" laptop with high quality build and decent battery. Upgradeable RAM and nvme. A 4k IPS display with 100% adobeRGB. Top of the line Ryzen CPU and Vega 56 (aka Vega 10XL I think).
If someone makes that I'll throw my money at them.

Oh don't worry Intel has you covered with those Core M CPUs if you want even lower performance.

Intel Atom based (Celeron/Pentium) has poor performance per clock and mediocre GPU

No complaints about the Ryzen 3000-series.

But whattahell is going on with those LP parts? 2C/2T, 1MB cache, 28nm?
I don't care how powerful their iGPU is, the performance on those chromebooks will be so handicapped by the CPU that it's gonna suck just as much as any other low-end part they've made in the past 10 years...
There is a reason why Intel decided to double the amount of cache in their Pentium/Celeron lineup. Heck, even SD855 sounds like a better alternative to Intel than this badly aged garbage.

6w?? That's darn good!! I know the Atom is around that but wow... :) AMD +1 for me!!
That's been a norm in this segment since 2013 or so. Almost half of modern intel lineup consists of sub-10W Celerons, Pentiums, and Core Y SoCs (that includes overpriced chips in the new macbook Air, which essentially is a glorified dual-core Atom with HT and TurboBoost).

Honestly, the worst thing in here is the chromebook itself. Let those thing die already.

I have a HP envy 2 in 1 with 2500U and im really happy with it :3 even when playing very light games (warframe, 720p low 60fps) in performance mode. So these will be even better, AMD is making really good chips even for ultra-small designs. the H ones look good to provide low cost entry level gaming laptops too

Nice to see AMD APUs in finally Chromebooks! :toast:

Especially great for schools and other myriad uses.

Impressive power requirements :) I wonder if they will start doing proper full size PSUs but with 50w to 250w or something... Loads of PSUs around 300w+ but not masses under that....

Having had some of the older AMD APUs I was impressed and amazed at their performance for the power they used. Best thing I ever had that would do all the basics and that wouldn't matter if I left it on 24/7 :)

Dont do un-contextulized bashing (@some people :D). If these cheap APu's can up the performance in the super lowend, where there have been no alternative to intel, then good. And good for who? (Not the hardcore entusiasts that roam this forum) But a segment of people will suddenly have more access and better variety than before. This is for sure a strategy from AMD, to start opening up the low-power-chromebook-segment.
Could potentialy be hitting for it with failed 7nm chiplets later on? (or is there a technical obsticale that I have missed?)

Sounds like you want a desktop with a small screen. Not happening soon... Small form factors are always a concession.

I don't think those APU are based on Bulldozer. I think they are based on Kabini/Jaguar architecture... it's low power arch used also for some APUs AMD is still selling for very low budget Windows PCs.
Based on a number of tech pages these are Bulldozer, Excavator to be more precise.

NotebookCheck's page I think is the best proof of this
AMD A6-9220C Processor - NotebookCheck.net Tech

Even if they where Kabini, 2 cores with that architecture would have been a huge problem. I did enjoyed an AM1 Sempron 3850 for a couple of years, but that chip had 4 cores and it was obvious that it couldn't make it at modern programs with less. And I had overclocked it at 1.6GHz back then. Today's common programs like browsers, are at least multithreaded, so more than 2 cores(in fact the correct here is more than 4) is a necessity for a smooth experience.

I hope these fix some of the power draw issues of the first generation, as that was really their Achilles' heel. They have excellent performance, but platform power draw 3-4x comparable Intel chips at low loads (video playback etc.) or idle is not good enough. Ought to be fixable, though, and Intel's move to LPDDR4X with Ice Lake should make it easier for AMD to do the same, improving iGPU performance nicely. That'll likely have to wait for the 4000-series, though.

Benchmark Scores 3050 scores good 15-20% lower than average, despite ASUS's claims that it has uber cooling.
I have a HP envy 2 in 1 with 2500U and im really happy with it :3 even when playing very light games (warframe, 720p low 60fps) in performance mode. So these will be even better, AMD is making really good chips even for ultra-small designs. the H ones look good to provide low cost entry level gaming laptops too

How is battery life?
