Anandtech's Ian Cutress has confirmed that AMD has no plans to release an APU using their multi-chip technology this generation. AMD's APUs are designed for mobile applications first, making a model that combines eight Zen 2 cores with a large graphics chip surplus to the requirements of mobile platforms. For their Zen 2-based APUs, AMD plans on using a design that is different to their GPU-less, desktop-grade Zen 2 processors.
 
It was also confirmed that AMD's Zen 2 Matisse processors will be designed to fit into the same power envelopes as the company's Ryzen 2nd Generation processors, which means that TDPs will max out at around 105W while low power models could feature TDPs that are as low as 35W.

AMD Ryzen 9 7950X,  Corsair Mp700 Pro M.2, 64GB Corsair Dominator Titanium DDR5  X670E Steel Legend, MSI RTX 4090 Associate Code: H5U80QBH6BH0AXF. I am NOT an employee of EVGA

    Logically, 2000G series were 14nm Zen, therefore 3000G series would be 12nm Zen + parts. Chiplets wouldn't come to APUs until 4000G series.

    For Intel processors, 0.122 x TDP = Continuous Amps at 12v [source].

    I like pure CPU designs so that the entire die can be used for L2 and L3 cache memory. The reason is that AIB video cards are in abundance and they still outperform integrated graphics rather nicely.
     
    Even my lowly GTX 750 beats the crap out of integrated stuff.
