The lowest TDP for Ryzen is 65W, so while there has been at least one laptop announced with a Ryzen 7, it might be the most thermally throttled CPU/GPU combination ever.
AMD has announced Ryzen APUs, but the specifics aren't out yet. If they come with USB/SATA/PCIe connectivity on the processor like normal Ryzens, they could lead to some very small and very power efficient laptops and SFF PCs. Waiting for a laptop with one of these myself. Just watch out for DDR4 ram prices.

Big gaming laptops can handle astonishing amounts of heat. The Origin Eon17-SLX can achieve useful overclocks on an i7-7700K and two GTX 1080s. It's two inches thick, weighs 12lbs and needs two power bricks, but there's clearly a market for desktop-replacement monsters. Intel and Nvidia have the laptop market dominated for now due to their greater power efficiency, but it isn't inconceivable that AMD could make some inroads into the laptop and SFF market when the Ryzen APUs launch. https://www.originpc.com/gaming/laptops/eon17-slx/ https://www.originpc.com/gaming/laptops/eon17-slx/
