Igor Wallossek also provides information on the Cezanne APUs: finally, no Navi RDNA2 integrated graphics solution.

Mid-June, some suspected AMD for having pushed back its Ryzen 4000s, code name Vermeer, to 2021, due to the success of the Ryzen 3000 and the launch of Ryzen 3000XT. Fortunately, the company quickly denied this information and reassured everyone: the Ryzen 4000s, under Zen3 architecture, will arrive well before the end of the year. The latter would have reached stage B0, synonymous with finalized versions ready for mass production.

Is that this report Igor Wallossek. He does not know when production will start, but he indicates that stage B0 gives AMD room to choose the launch date.
AMD has improved the energy efficiency of its mobile processors by 31.7 in 6 years
The open field for the end of the year
It actually takes 3-4 months to make enough processors. Remember that it is the Taiwanese founder TSMC which is responsible for production in 7 nm for AMD. Suffice to say that the company led by Lisa Su has free rein by the end of the year, especially that on the Intel side, on the market for desktop processors, we will have to keep up with the Comet Lake-S since Rocket Lake-S will not arrive until 2021.
Vega 20 for Cezanne APUs
Igor Wallossek also provides valuable information on the Ryzen 5000, Cezanne APUs, which will arrive after the Ryzen 4000 Renoir APUs. AMD will retain the H (high performance) / U (low consumption) division. Mostly, contrary to what was assumed so far, the Cezanne APUs will not benefit from a Navi RDNA2 integrated graphics solution but simply Vega 20. The Van Gogh chips, for laptop computers, will benefit from a Navi 21 graphics solution.
–
On the APU sector for fixed PCs, you should wait until the Rembrandt range, which will succeed Cezanne, to see an integrated graphics solution Navi RDNA2. AMD would therefore go directly from Vega to Navi RDNA2 for this range of products.
