    Do we think the Ryzen 4000 will come to the Area 51M?

    AMD CPU won't get to see the day of light be utilized in higher end makes from the key makers.
    ACER's previous use of the Ryzen 2000 series CPU was seemingly as a gamble, and only 1 model made.
    DELL's case? Look for it in their G series entry lvl gaming laptops.

    I believe Intel 10th sense with 10x the annual payout will make OEM to force AMD on low tier models and Intel on high end.
    Even if Ryzen 4000H series comes out, it'll be superior during review process and subsequent BIOS updates will make it look terrible than 10th gen Intel. We might see AMD/Intel feuds.

    Frank Azor has announced the Renoir will find its way into Dell laptops sometime in 2021. Does this mean we'll see them in Alienware? I'm not so sure. AMD has a killer product with Renoir and everything we've seen so far points to a superior product in multicore and comparable in single-core applications. Unfortunately, markets have been duped by AMD in the past and we haven't had a strong CPU offering from them on the mobile segment in nearly a decade.

    If you've noticed, no OEM is making a Renoir laptop with stronger than a RTX2060 or more than 16GB of RAM (the Asus G15 is an exception, you could get up to 40GB). My tinfoil hat tells me that Intel has a hand it this, promising the markets that if they hold out for their 10nm process, everything can go back to normal.

    Ley us study on how much had DELL gained from INTEL's incentives all these years... Nope... it's more than 10yrs, especially in my country.
    For the last 10yrs(minus Vista, start from Win7), i've not seen a DELL/AMD laptop listed in my country's DELL website.
    Except in recent years, thru DROP-DELL RESALE OUTLET PORTAL, listings of refurbished, repaired Bulldozer/Ryzen based CPU laptops for sale to public...
    So... Ryzen in DELL's premium brand in fresh body? BAAH!!! Forget about it for another 2 quarters to come...
