AMD at CES in Las Vegas, Nevada, Monday, January 6, 2020.

At CES 2020 AMD delivered on their keynote as well as delivering quite a few new products and product detail. In those deliveries were the final specifications and pricing for their 64 Core render crushing Threadripper 3990X, their champion 1080p pushing RX 5600XT, and their new 3rd Generation Ryzen 4000 Series mobile Renior based processors. The last of those in the list ushered in a new level of mobile parts from the company delivering high performance but low power 7nm Zen 2 cores to the laptop market. They also introduced a new technology that AMD has been working on, SmartShift. But, it seems that SmartShift has either confused many or they're getting the wrong impression of what it does as I did when it was quickly covered on stage.
