reports AMD's 7nm Zen 2-based laptop processors will hit the market in Q1 2020. The site also received confirmation from a source that this lineup will include a six-core processor that will target gaming laptops with low-end discrete graphics at a price level of just $699. Devices with the six-core AMD Ryzen Mobility 3000 part can reportedly achieve a battery life of up to 12 hours for day-to-day use.
So here is what AMD has planned next: An AMD gaming laptop, equipped with a Ryzen 5 CPU, complete with discrete graphics, starting from $699. While I do not have confirmation of the exact specification, I do know this pricing is being based on a 7nm Ryzen part with 6-cores along with a dGPU (the Radeon RX 5300M/5500M potentially) and will go up against the Intel Core i5-8265U + GTX 1050 setup. This represents a serious level of gaming performance in the mobility segment and the GTX 1050 could be called the starting point of a true gaming laptop. That said, AMD is clearly pursuing the thin, light and fast ideology while offering good gaming performance.
