I sure hope AMD can compete on both price and performance with Zen but:<p>As you say it is not released yet, let&#x27;s hope they really achieve a 2016 rollout.<p>Is there really any money in the lowend notebook market for CPU vendors?<p>I think what Intel realizes is that no one really wants a fan in a notebook. Not consumers (noise), not manufacturers (less parts, cheaper). For some the performance is worth the noise, but that is only at the high end, and will Zen be able to compete there?<p>Who will buy Zen? What is the market? Lowend is mobile + RPi3 etc. Mid doesn&#x27;t exist anymore, and highend they will still not be able to compete?
