AMD Ryzen processors have become strong in the desktop market and now it's time to jump into a more lucrative market. AMD is currently working very hard to conquer the laptop market. It seems that the company is preparing a Ryzen 7 Extreme Edition for laptops. The NEC company has confirmed that this processor will be integrated into the Lavie N15 laptop.
According to the data that has been found, the Ryzen 7 Extreme Edition is an 8-core, 16-thread APU. This APU belongs to the Renoir family, specifically to the Ryzen 4000U. We would therefore be talking about a Zen2 @ 7nm solution of unknown frequency and that would integrate a Vega @ 7nm GPU.

NEC Reveals AMD Ryzen 7 Extreme Edition APU Specifications
This AMD solution would be working at a frequency of 1.8GHz and would arrive in Boost mode at 4.2GHz, according to the NEC. It seems that AMD, to reduce consumption, has lowered the Boost frequency a bit. Initially this processor, according to a leaked 3DMark benchmark, was going to arrive with a Boost of 5.3GHz.
From the data provided by NEC, the Ryzen 7 Extreme Edition appears to be the same as the Ryzen 7 4800U. It does not seem likely that both processors are the same, perhaps the difference is in the iGPU, of which no data has been given.
AMD has also released the HS Series APUs and H Series APUs for notebook computers. These two families of APUs for laptops are very similar, almost identical, changing only the TPD. H Series APUs have a 45W TDP with a cTDP (adjustable TDP) ranging from 35-45W. While the HS Series APUs have a fixed TDP of 35W.
U Series APUs have a TDP of 15W and a cTDP of 10-25W, and the Ryzen 7 Extreme Edition may have a higher TDP, perhaps 25W. This could indicate a more powerful Vega GPU or that it could support Boost mode for a longer time. We'll see when AMD officially announces it.
