Will AMD push harder into laptops or do they just consider that a lost battle?

They're still making new APUs, and have decent presence there now since the launch of their Ryzen mobile chips.
Wait and see what Renoir brings to the table next year.

7nm is better for laptops but amd seems to not care too much about that segment of the market atm

They have a release cadence and they're not going to break it by shitcanning currently in production parts.

They simply can't compete, Intel has contracts with every major brand.

It's not so much a lack of willingness on AMD's part, it's the OEMs who are to blame. It's really not helping that the few AMD laptops that are available to consumers tend to be in absolute shitboxes that have worse screens/batteries/etc. than their Intel competitors.

It's not only intels market dominance that is in amds way.
Zen is a architecture designed for high core count parts. It's just not that good in a 4c configuration.

Fuck you frogfag

Renoir is trash wait for VG.

Does Zen 2 even support LPDDR?

based

Sure.

I don't believe so.

It's an issue of manpower for AMD right now. They simply don't have the manpower to compete with Intel on every front while competing with Nvidia. It's a miracle they're as competitive as they are, considering how puny AMD is, both in terms of headcount and capital availability.

Specifically with laptops, AMD is probably out of the game there for some time. The thing about laptops is that each model requires an immense amount of unique work from the OEM, much more than most people realize. Cooperation is needed from the major parts vendors, and Intel has been reliable in providing design and manufacturing support to the many OEMs and many models out there. Intel easily has thousands of employees just working on helping their customers design laptops for optimal performance. Meanwhile, AMD has 10,000 employees total.

Instead of theories about collusion or whatever, it's far more likely that OEMs have become dependent and used to their arrangement with Intel, and don't need to go out of their way to deal much with a smaller company that won't do the work for them that Intel will. AMD knows this, which is why it appears as if they haven't been trying with laptops. Why put a ton of money and energy into a battle you can't win right now?

I think Intel also required a minimum battery life for the laptops their CPUs ended up on, so they always had an edge on that, since AMD didn't have enough leverage to demand the.same and OEMs would cut corners there

Ship 6 and 8 core consumer laptops lmao

There are tons of models of Dell, HP, ASUS, and Lenovo laptops with Ryzen APUs. They've made major inroads since abandoning the Construction core line.

7nm Zen2 codename Renoir APU is slated for release next year.
After that is a yet to be codenamed Zen3 APU coming 2021. Zen3 might actually turn out to be a huge uplift from Zen2 due to significant increases in execution width.

welp, all i know is the junk mail around here seems to have significantly more amd laptops in it this year

Given the reports of power management with Zen2 and Navi, it should be a fantastic on an APU for a laptop.

shame almost all of them have soldered single channel ram

AMD shipped a chromebook line and are working with lenovo for a 14" and 17" thinkpad line.
There's a couple 2-in-1s announced also.
They have the raven ridge mobile SOC remember?
Might even lead to being effecient enough for tablets on Zen3.

I love the apu meme. It's the most innocent thing since spurdo and gondola.
