If all Intel has left over the competition is artificial vendor lock-in, they're in big trouble.

CPU for desktops has been commoditized. Intel does a lot in networking, RAM, and storage. Not to mention having almost all of the server space.

Desktops is relatively low growth and Intel holds a lot os sway with major integrators. There are about a handful of AMD offers at Dell or Lenovo and dozens of Intel ones.

And I just ordered an HP laptop with a Ryzen APU.

Voting with wallets counts, people! If you want to see more AMD laptops, buy them!

You should have waited for 4000U series... By then you might even have HiDPI screens on AMD laptops...

I wanted one now. And yeah, the future is always brighter.

My current laptop- an HP Pavilion 2000 has an AMD APU as well- but it's from like a decade ago and it's been showing it's age for quite a while, and I needed something newer.

Ryzen 5 3550H, BTW

There's always something better on the horizon

4000U should make 3000U/H completely obsolete, it's the first mobile Zen 2 APU series.

Yeah, especially if battery life is important as it will feature LPDDR4X-4266 support (0.6v instead of 1.2 and low power modes).
