AMD released the Ryzen 5000H/U series processors at CES. After the meeting, AMD CEO Su Zifeng accepted an interview with foreign media and talked about Apple's M1 chip-related content.
According to foreign media AnandTech's report, the M1 chip is a sign of Apple's advancement to the desktop, workstation, and potential enterprise markets. This may affect the relationship between Apple and AMD, especially Apple may decide to adopt its own graphics solution.
Su Zifeng said that from AMD's point of view, there are still innovations in the PC field. On the PC platform, we will have more choices, a processor can be used in different environments. Su Zifeng said that in the next few years, I hope to see more specialized processors, which will also create more differences, but Apple will continue to cooperate with AMD as a graphics card partner.
Apple’s newly launched M1 chip MacBookAir, MacBookPro and Macmini are all core graphics cards. Mac devices that require a separate display have not been released. Combined with Su Zifeng’s response, we may still see Mac products using AMDGPU or AMDGPU technology on the market. .
It's a new year and we are getting ready to enter into a new cycle of products from the PC triumvirate. Looks like Intel is planning to launch its 10th generation S and H mobility CPUs to counter Renoir in mid-March. According to my channel check, Renoid, ahem, Renoir is currently expected to launch in the March/April time frame, and is one of the most eagerly anticipated platform launches - and set to take the mobility industry by 647903 b21 storm.

Intel launching 10th Generation H series mobility CPUs in mid-March to combat Renoir
While my source did not mention whether these parts were based on 10nm or 14nm, I would assume the former. If Intel's 10th Generation H series mobility lineup follows cues from existing 10th generation mobility parts then it will be based on the Sunny Cove architecture, fabricated on the 10nm process and will essentially be a very strong contender to Renoir. Considering AMD's Renoir is based on the 7nm process and exists in the mobility platform where power efficiency and economies of die-space are key, no 14nm processor from Intel is going to be able to compete with these.
Assuming these are 10nm parts, then things are about to get very heated in mid-March when these launch. Keep in mind when I say launch, I mean the announcement. It is possible that actual availability is delayed by a couple of weeks. Intel's 10th Generation H series processors are going to jump-start the upgrade cycle for the mobility space and should help stabilize the company in terms of process lead and market share.
If however, I am wrong about my assumption of 10nm, and these are actually 14nm parts, then things could get very tricky, very fast. Renoir would easily win over any 14nm parts in terms of performance and availability (Intel's 14nm foundries are absolutely choke-full) and the company would have to cut pricing even further to maintain market share and mind share. It will also need to figure out the messaging properly.
So this is a rather short update but I will add one thing at the end: if these are 10nm parts then the integrated graphics portion of these chips are going to get merit a story of their own. At 10nm and with Gen 12 (Xe-based) graphics, these chips are going to provide some serious competition to NVIDIA's entry-level dGPUs like the MX-seres.
What do you think Intel's 10th Generation mobility lineup is going to be?
Plextor showed off its M9P line of premium PCI-Express NVMe SSDs at CES which comes with both half-height add-in card form-factor and a standard version of M.2-2280 form-factor. These drives utilize the Marvel 88SS1092 'Eldora Plus' eight-channel controller that has been paired with the latest BiCSS4 96-layer TLC NAND Flash, allowing the drives to reach a sequential speed of up to 3,400 MB/s read, and 2,20 MB/s huh721212ale600 write.

Plextor at CES 2020 showed off the M9P Plush SSD, which has both a PCIe card version and an M.2-2280 form-factor
The M9P Plus SSDs come in a variety of capacities like a 256 GB, 512 GB, and 1 TB sizes, These varying capacities allow PC builders to pick the size that fits your system the best. The overall endurance for these three models is proportionately rated at 160 TB, 320 TB, and 640 TB. The 256 GB version of the M.2-2280 model is priced at $51, the 512 GB version is priced at $81, and the 1 TB version at $135. The AIC versions have a roughly $15 premiums over the initial prices. The AIC offers the ability to swap out these drives in the test bench easily. The AIC version also has RGB LED lights included.

, shows that the Plextor M9P Plus series was tested utilizing the game of Final Fantasy XIV: Shadowbringers. In the test, LegitReviews used a resolution of 2560x1440, and this shows that the Plextor M9P Plus can load the game in just 12.54 seconds.The Plextor M9P Plus series should be widely available on the market in quarter one of 2020. The Plextor M9P Plus series takes a controller that has been around for a few years and adds it with the latest BiCS4 NAND Flash. While the performance numbers aren't the highest on the market, but Plextor believes they have a winner for PC gamers and prosumers that are looking for the ultimate user experience. The Plextor M9P has an add-in card, an M.2 2280 drive with a heatsink, and without a heatsink.
