Seeing as I've been hearing about Renoir since August of 2019, the part of this article that actually piques my interest is the A520 chipset. I wasn't expecting that to show up. Not sure how that's supposed to work either. I'm guessing the main function is so it can readily support Zen2 and Zen3 CPUs, since A320 wasn't really built to handle the 12+ core models. But I also wonder if it'll support PCIe 4.0, since that would make the motherboard more expensive, perhaps expensive enough where you might as well just spend the extra $5 or whatever for B550. If they don't support PCIe 4.0, I figure a B450 would make for a better value.
I know the A series is mostly targeted toward OEMs but I just don't see how they're going to make it appealing.

Matisse and Refresh ? 😉

I don't understand why it's still Vega, even if it's some franken chip with elements from Navi. Why not all Navi while they are at it? Intel is preparing its whole new GPU architecture, which is apparently going to be significantly better than anything they've had before. Still sticking to Vega makes it look like AMD has a reason to believe they don't need to take Intel seriously.

Given Intel's past history, AMD really has little reason to take Intel seriously.
I hope Intel brings something competitive, but they have a poor track record in graphics so far.....

If that slide is correct, I guess it rules out me buying a 4***G. I have no intention of buying another motherboard for AM4. I wanted a Zen2 apu if the igpu was a 10% improvement over the Vega11 in my 2400G. I really like how little electricity my 2400G uses. It's nice having a computer, monitor, and router combined that uses little more electricity than an old incandescent light bulb used. It's looking like a R3 3300X or R5 3600 will be the upgrade for my R3 1200 computer. I still might wait to see the Ryzen 4000 cpus but I'm probably better off just getting the 3300X or 3600 and then saving my money for AM5.
