AMD's Ryzen 4000 chips bring eight cores to ultraportables
AMD has taken a big bite out of the PC market over the last few years, especially when it comes to high-end workstations.

This year, the company is aiming to change that with its new Ryzen 4000 chips, which combine its Zen 2 core and 7 nanometer fabrication process. The result is some of the most intriguing mobile chips we've ever seen.
