Despite these currently using Picasso (12nm APU) this announcement has Renoir (7nm APU) written all over it, once it becomes available. The reasons to think so are numerous (and Ryan in the article also hints at some)
Dr. Ian Cutress said:In our call we were told that both companies are looking at the next generation of product for this market. Up until this point we were told that his was a ‘multi-year partnership’, but AMD’s commentary clarified that the collaboration is going to be over multiple generations of hardware and products. Given what we know about AMD’s product cycle time as well as Microsoft’s, we could envisage the next generation being built upon a Zen 2 design with something RDNA related – AMD is expected to release Renoir next year, which might be a push in this direction.
you are wrong for comparing apple move to (core 2) as the same as Microsoft move to amd apu it is not the same apple before moving to (core 2) was using (power pc) but Microsoft has been using x86 since ages. intel and amd have the same (ISA) but the microArchitecture is different for example (ringbus and infintfabric) so Microsoft needs to improve windows scheduler to be ccx aware and decrease idel power consumption and that is all they have to doIsn't that how it always is? Apple launched X86 on the Core Dou. Not because it was a worthwhile product to launch on (C2D was), but because it got that ball rolling and acted as a proof of concept and got them to work out bugs and solidify the relationship and product logistics ahead of a switch. My guess is MS got some tape outs maybe even ES eval units made some mockups for the Surface Pro and Surface books (two products without a release this gen) and were sold. In the meantime AMD gives MS their own sku for the absolute top crop of Picasso's to throw into the only system that could really allow them to shine.

You’ll start to see our next-generation mobile products, as well, coming in early 2020. You’ll see 7nm mobile chips that have yet to come to market. That’s a pretty strong portfolio. We’re well underway with Zen 3 as a follow-on, as well, for 2020 — lots of product activity. Even though 2019 was a big product year, I think 2020 will be an even larger product year for us.

So is the 3950x getting released on the 19th with the Threadripper 3000 line up??

1usmus Custom Power Plan for Ryzen 3000 Zen 2 Processors
In this article by our resident Ryzen tweaking guru "1usmus" we present a customized power plan for AMD's new Ryzen 3000 processors. The new power plan ensures workloads run on the best cores, which not only increases boost clocks, but also stops threads from bouncing between cores too often.www.techpowerup.com
It appears to be a Windows setting. You have to make sure the BIOS is set correctly.Can someone dumb this down and explain it. Is this like a bios thing or something you manually set?
I have a 3800x

I believe Dali is going to be exactly this. Not sure if they will drop it in the 3000-series though.There still room for a Athlon 3100G 4/4 V6 at $75-$80, not sure if they are going to add more Athlons.
Raven2-based by the way, also it might allow them to toss the a-series naming.AMD apparently is now ripping off Intel's low end core marketing with the Athlon Gold 3150U. Not sure if legit. Despite what it says it is likely Pinnacle Ridge based.
It isn't 12nm, it is 14nm Boost. It is officially called Raven2. R1606G/R1505G have RV2 designation as well as Ryzen 3200u, Athlon 300u/Athlon Gold 3150u, and this Athlon 3000G also is RV2.Is the Athlon 3000G really 12nm Picasso? AMD website says that it is 14nm. I know it could be wrong but all other information is right. I ask this because i think it could be a Banded Kestrel, if 14nm is right.
It is...So it is native 2C 3CU?
