Anandtech has received confirmation from AMD that it will not bring an APU to market based on the Matisse design in 2019. This doesn’t mean AMD has no plans to bring a 7nm APU to market — only that the CPU in question will be a custom design. Because APUs are intended to serve lower-priced markets, AMD makes different design decisions concerning them and tends to position them for different markets.

In other news, AMD has stated it expects the TDP range of Matisse products to be the same as the current lineup of Ryzen CPUs. This implies CPU TDPs ranging from 35W to 105W. It is not clear if that applies to the theoretical bit of empty space or not. Maintaining full socket compatibility with AM4 is important for AMD’s long-term compatibility pledge, but squeezing a high-performance 16-core CPU into a 105W TDP while maintaining high clock speeds might be a bit tricky. Then again, there’s clearly room for something. We’ll have to wait and see.
