It's been 6 months since AMD announced the octa-core Ryzen 7 4800U. Why is it MIA?

Ironically, I have a friend with an Lenovod IdeaPad 5 with 4800U. Wants to sell it given he likes Macbook Airs overall construction, screen and keyboard layout more.

Also,wasn't the 4900U the top 15W CPU?

Got my Lenovo Slim 7 4800U today. Installing soon a second nvme ssd in it. Looks promising, screen is of course quite glossy.

I had delivered back in June an Ideapad 5, 15" with a 4800U / 16Gig

The thing flies! - the benchmarks you see online are actually less than what I'm regularly getting when in extreme mode!

Plays games superbly too, Skyrim with HQ texture pack - everything ultra
Starcraft - everything max
Fortnite  - everything max

Very Very happy - and it only cost £500! I'd need to spend double that to get a similarly performing DESKTOP!

I really often wonder why they make these things so fast. It's not like software upgrades as often. It's almost always buggy with new processors.

[4800U owner]

Like others wrote before, Lenovo is selling (or sold) 4800U laptops already.
I'm writing this on my IdeaPad 5 15" with 4800U and all the best options I could configure it with, coming to a price of 550€ (incl 19% VAT). It was a steal!

In Extreme Performance mode (25W instead of 15) I'm scratching at 4000 points in Cinebench R20 multi core and 488 single core.

Does anyone with an Ideapad 5 with Ryzen 4800u experience BSOD when playing games (on steam)? Read some reports, so I'm currently not sure if I should buy that machine.
Thanks!
