Pretty sure High End Desktop parts are Threadripper/TR4 socket variety, so not sure why that was left in the article.

At 45W these could be used in laptops to compete with Intel's 45W H line of i7's. At 2.8GHz the 8 core Ryzen 7 2700E has a higher base frequency than the 2.6GHz i7-8850H with 6 cores.

What about the Pro 2700X (95W) ?.. it seems far more interesting than the 2700E.

Eh, not really. Intel would still win because an iGPU sips power compared to a discrete solution.

But a second gen Zen and Vega at 7nm is only 6 months away. Which means second gen Zen/Vega APU that will destroy anything Intel has, not to mention spectre 2 variant silicon fix before Intel. Coming say January February to consumers, maybe even sooner if fabs have no more hiccups, with higher default memory speeds and clock speeds, with similar or less power consumption.

Coffee Lake is extremely competitive, but I don't know why you're talking about iGPUs. These 45W chips are used almost exclusively (if not exclusively) in systems that have discrete graphics.

But again, CFL is pretty stout so it would be hard to compete head-to-head. Best way to do it would be to undercut them on price. Maybe it'll happen after Zen 2.
