AMD "Zen" Based APUs Later This Year
An AMD representative, responding to a Reddit question on AMD Ryzen branding, confirmed that the company will launch Mobile SoCs (APUs) based on the "Zen" micro-architecture later this year. The logical next-step for AMD with "Zen" beyond "Summit Ridge" has been to combine one or more quad-core "Zen" CCX (CPU complexes) with an integrated graphics core based on one of its newer GPU architectures ("Polaris" or "Vega").
The AMD representative confirmed that the company will launch mobile SoCs that combine "Zen" CPU cores with an integrated GPU, in the second half of 2017. This could hint at the availability of "Zen" powered notebooks, of all shapes and sizes by Holiday 2017. Over the year, AMD will begin launching "Zen" based products, starting off with 8-core high-end Ryzen 7 processors on March 2nd, six-core and some of the higher-end quad-core Ryzen 5 series processors in Q2-2017, and some of the lower-end quad-core Ryzen 3 parts in the second-half of 2017, now joined by mobile SoCs around the same time.

They really need to lay down the law with these chips.

If PS4 pro can finally get 'more' stable framerate at 1080, then how would they ever be able to do 4k with same image quality?
Also, you know what m$ calls 30 fps, but it's really in the 20s? That's exactly what's going to happen, here.
Stop apologizing for consoles and their peasants.
PS4 Pro has double the GPU power of PS4 so can do chess rendered 4k (yeah, omg, it's upscaled) out of the box, a bunch of games in native 4k.
Notable mentions:
1) What Sony's studios are doing on their consoles: jaw dropping graphic fidelity (The Last of Us on PS3 anyone? Uncharted 4 on Pro?)
2) Nintendo's new console, which is essentially WiiU (rather pathetic) GPU power, is that the one you meant?
So, PS4Pro is half way there for 4k. Next Playstation will go 4k, there is no doubt about it. Even Microsoft's Scorpio will, although with noticeable compromises.
I mostly game on my notebook, 54xx series (4xxx rebrand) Radeon to impress console owners anyone? (Starcraft II, first Mass Effect, Kings Bounty)
