No, AMD's CPU and APU releases are staggered, so if everything goes well, we're looking at Q1 for Cézanne.

CPU release is one thing, release of a larger number of laptops and actual availability in stores is another. Given their past performance, I wouldn't expect laptops (at least in larger numbers) before Q2 and more like Q2/Q3 for the bulk. But who knows, perhaps AMD will surprise us and deliver laptops shortly after launch in Q1. I wouldn't hold my breath, though.

Not on chip. Not before Rembrandt, probably in Q1 2022.

@vertigo: That's my hope too. AMD needs to push hard in desktop, but they need to push harder in the laptop market. They're making good inroads; hopefully Cezanne will be released soon to keep the push going.

@SirEvilJebus: "Bases" is the plural of "basis." In this case, it's pronounced "BAY-sees." Since this noun is referring to both Zen 3 and RDNA 2, it needs to be plural.

"Zen 3 and RDNA 2 will be the bases for AMD's next generation of CPUs and graphics cards, respectively." Surely you meant "basis" or do all your bases belong to me?

I was just looking for when this will be released and everything from the past couple months says Q1 2021. Does this mean we could actually start seeing Cezanne-based laptops this year? I'm waiting for that, hopefully with USB4 and hopefully better screens and keyboards this time.
