Don't worry friend I also just build a Ryzen 3800X rig in Dec as a xmas gift to myself. When zen 3 comes out you can just drop the cpu into your current build and sell the chip you are using now.
The naming of desktop as Ryzen 3000 & mobile as Ryzen 4000 when they're both Zen 2 arch seems to add unnecessary complication. Is it intentional misdirection for consumers?
Seems 2020 is another year of winning for AMD. After offloading the burden that was global foundry, AMD is free to fly high without worrying of being held back by manufacturing process.
A slide states there's a 12% increase in performance for Cinebench r20 when with Smartshift - but I'm curious, how does that relate? Smartshift is the ability to move power from the CPU to the GPU when needed, but Cinebench is a CPU benchmark, no? Just not sure how to connect the dots there...
Nothing on Zen 3, but even the mobile Ryzen decent. So Ryzen 4000 will actually come with VEGA and not RDNA? . Mobile RDNA being a year late is a little irritating.
I seriously hope AMD get the capacity planning better especially on Ryzen 4000.
There is another point worth noting, the mention of Apple as partner. First time I have heard any component manufacture having an Apple Logo and Apple products Image listed in their presentation. I think this speaks volume, assuming they had Apple's permission. Hoping to see more AMD and Apple collaboration.

First ! Haven't been this sort of excitement with anything in PC / Server Industry for a long time. Hopefully some juicy Zen 3 info.thelonelynoble - Monday, January 6, 2020 - link
I'm hoping they announce a good reason for me to regret buying a 3000 series chip 2 weeks ago.Makaveli - Monday, January 6, 2020 - link

This is how it's always been though. Raven Ridge (Zen 1 APUs) were 2200/2400.Alistair - Monday, January 6, 2020 - link
based on the year of release or product year, i think it's actually fine in this case considering the large gap in release timingksec - Monday, January 6, 2020 - link
Intentional or not, their naming is still 10x easier to understand and better than Intel.zmatt - Monday, January 6, 2020 - link
64 Core TR and Zen 2 mobile look nice. Still let down we haven't heard about a 5700XTX or 5800 or whatever they want to call call high end Navi.Unashamed_unoriginal_username_x86 - Monday, January 6, 2020 - link
Yeah, no high end :/I suppose Nvidia has free roam this year on the top end. I'm hopeful for the APUs though, they look pretty nice.

nvm i dumbCan't wait to see benches for the 5600 though.

Yea a Mac Pro with an Epyc processor would be a better product on the high end.Teckk - Monday, January 6, 2020 - link
What's this Pro-Series mobile segment? Any more info on it?Meteor2 - Tuesday, January 7, 2020 - link
