AMD Ryzen 5000-series processors are in testing — Can Intel keep up?

And an important graphics update is on board

We’ve been impressed by the performance and battery life of the Ryzen 4000-series CPUs in laptops, but it’s hard to not be intrigued by what’s coming next. While AMD has given us some indication of what to expect over the next couple of years, it is good to see that things are staying on track.

According to some digging by igor’sLab, the AMD Ryzen 5000 APUs are in early-stage validation already and the mobile-focused “Van Gogh” variant will be making the move to Navi21 graphics (via TechRadar).
