Depending on use case, I would expect the Ryzen U series to end up on thin and light business notebooks. 8 cores, 15W TDP, expecting fantastic battery life. But I'm still wondering when one of these OEMs will tackle Thunderbolt ports. From what I've read it's not as easy with AMD, but certainly possible, and up to the OEM's discretion.

When USB4 standards come into play, which will be in 1-2 years time. USB4 contains all of thunderbolt3 features, even if it is not 'certified' to be called thunderbolt3.

External gpu in the case we need it would require thunderbolt?!

Stumbled across this tonight... this is Lenovo marketing so take it with a grain of salt, but given what we've seen so far, I wouldn't be surprised. > 14 hours of battery > WiFi 6 > 3.1 lbs Under 15 mm / 0.6" thick https://www.lenovo.com/us/en/coming-soon/IdeaPad-Slim-7-14ARE05/p/88IPS701400 https://www.lenovo.com/us/en/coming-soon/IdeaPad-Slim-7-14AR...

  Aaaaand for HDMI, they just say "HDMI". 8K TVs are coming. You can get one for $2500 right now: https://www.bestbuy.com/site/samsung-55-class-led-q900-series-4320p-smart-8k-uhd-tv-with-hdr/6355633.p https://www.bestbuy.com/site/samsung-55-class-led-q900-serie... Can we PLEASE get HDMI 2.1? Laptops hardly offer HDMI 2.0.

    is there even content which is 8k? It seems to me we're barely starting to have 4k content ATM.

      I’m waiting for 16k tv so I can finally tile 4 4K streams on it.

      People said this about 4k. Between gaming and having a huge monitor for work, I do not care about movies being in 8k. 8k, like 4k, is for gaming.

    Eyes don’t have the visual acuity for 8K TV’s at normal sizes (sub 100in) to make any sense. On top of that, there is no content and given how little 4k content there is it will be years before there is a meaningful amount of content. Regular cinema is 2k or 4k. There is very little reason to move beyond 4k, especially in the living room. HDR on the other hand has plenty of room for improvement.

      That's ridiculous, why do people like high DPI screens then? 8k on a 55" TV would have lots of real estate and lots of DPI for very nice fonts.

        You don't put your eyes 30 cm from your TV. It's about angular distance between pixels. At 3 meters, a normal viewing distance, normal eyes cannot see the difference between 4K and 8K on a 55 inch TV.
