AMD Ryzen 4000 release date, laptops and specs: everything we know about AMD's next CPUs

[FearLess]

There’s no stopping AMD Ryzen 4000 from demolishing Intel. With Team Red already sitting on top of the CPU world, selling 40% more processors than its rival, these big flagships are going for the knockout, with the Ryzen 4000 processors for laptops already nearly as fast as their desktop counterparts.

After giving us a sneak peek at sneak peek at AMD Ryzen 4000 processors for laptops at CES 2020, these mobile processors are already out, delivering hugely improved performance across the board. As evidenced by the compelling Asus Zephyrus G14, they’re delivering desktop-class performance in a lightweight laptop, changing the gaming laptop scene forever. It doesn’t stop there – AMD may also be preparing to add a new flagship APU, Ryzen 9 4900U, to the lineup.

Of course, laptops aren't the entire scene. We've heard plenty of whispers about the AMD Zen 3-equipped Ryzen 4000 processors for desktops, which could be coming in October. And, these will be based on a 7nm+ manufacturing process. That means that they could potentially push clock speeds high enough to really make Intel hurt, especially if Team Blue stays stuck at 14nm on desktop. 

There's already so much information and gossip out there about the next generation of Ryzen for laptops and desktops. So we gathered all the most important bits right here in this article to help you stay ahead of the Ryzen 4000 curve. We'll also make sure to keep this article updated with all the latest news, so be sure to bookmark us so you can stay on top of it.  

We'll probably see Ryzen 3 laptops starting around the $600 mark, with laptops rocking the Ryzen 7 4800H or 4800U hitting the premium market above $1,000. However, we can be a bit more specific with our speculation on the desktop lineup. 

AMD Ryzen 3rd Generation saw higher prices than Ryzen 2000, largely due to the introduction of Ryzen 9 processors with up to 16 cores. However, the Ryzen 7 3700X did launch at the same $329 (£319, AU$519) price point as the Ryzen 7 2700X that came before it. 

Due to the success of chips like the Ryzen 9 3900X and 3950X, however, we fully expect AMD to follow suit with the Ryzen 4000 lineup. For reference, we included the pricing of AMD Ryzen 3000 processors below. We expect the pricing to stay roughly the same for the next generation. 

AMD Ryzen 9 3950X: $749 (about £590, AU$1,080)
AMD Ryzen 9 3900X: $499 (about £390, AU$720)
AMD Ryzen 7 3800X: $399 (about £310, AU$580)
AMD Ryzen 7 3700X: $329 (about £260, AU$480)
AMD Ryzen 5 3600X: $249 (about £200, AU$360)
AMD Ryzen 5 3600: $199 (about £160, AU$290)
AMD Ryzen 5 3400G: $149 (£139, AU$240)
AMD Ryzen 3 3300G: $99 (£94, AU$144)

For how long, though? It is well known companies have their products ready to be released for the next 4 or so years. Back in 2016, when AMD really shook the market, no one was ready, especially not Intel. They weren't prepared at all for this war. They've shown in these last years that they don't really care about their customers, *reviving* old CPUs and selling them insanely overpriced under different names. However, in these years to come, Intel can definitely bounce back. Their CPUs still remain the best gaming ones available on the market, while AMD excels at multi-tasking.

 

Not an Intel fan, btw, I'd choose Ryzen over Intel any day of the week.
