While no release or details have been confirmed by AMD, numerous leaks and rumors are suggesting an announcement of next-generation Ryzen chips at CES 2020. AMD’s release cycle for mobile suggests this third generation will get last-generation’s Zen 2 micro-architecture. AMD has typically announced mobile and desktop chips at the same event, but is this something to be excited about?

On the desktop hardware side, raw performance is a big point. There’s a good chance AMD’s going to announce Zen 3 processors at CES, which will supposedly bring substantial performance gains over Zen 2 with a refined 7nm process. On the laptop side, there’s a lot of things to be excited about. Mainly, the added efficiency of the processors. At this point, nothing is known for certain about AMD's plans at CES, if they have any at all. A number of leaks are suggesting an announcement of some kind. Whether that includes new Ryzen Mobile chips is yet to be seen, but signs are pointing to an announcement at CES.
