Sorry, the latter was the only thing I'd been able to find regarding actual availability. Thanks. <3
Raven Ridge is a mobile 4/12 core Zen APU that peaks at 35W. There's also a desktop version of Raven Ridge rated 35-95W, with the same four Zen cores, but an undisclosed number of CUs. AMD's official roadmaps show Raven Ridge with the same timing as Summit Ridge "2017" but Summit Ridge at least may be coming as early as October, with engineering samples already making the rounds.

Zen certainly seems to be on the table for Neo. Sony may go ahead and launch without it just because, but "just because" is the only reason I can really think of. There's never been any hurry to get Neo out the door, so why not simply wait for it? What's the argument for leaving significant performance on the table?
Anyway
I think House has been careful enough with his wording that Sony
could do a generational reset if they decide they need to for some reason, but I don't really see any reason for that to be "the plan." I've asked this a few times and you may actually be provide a reasonable answer I usually just get silence but what would Sony realistically shift to from BSD/x86 that would actually
necessitate a reset? Realistically, what could PS5 possibly be apart from a PS4.10 to Neo's PS4.5?
