Most of what I've seen seems to indicate that Ryzen 3 will be AM4, with Ryzen 4 moving on, I'd be suprised not to see a shift to DDR5 at that time and usb3+thunderbolt in that generation in a couple years.

I would love to see an AM4 3600G and 3700G though, basically a 3600 or 3700 with the addition of a GPU chiplet. There are plenty of people out there that could use more CPU but don't need a discrete GPU for work.

Oh man, this exactly. I'd happily add more heatsink and bump my APU TDP by 20-30 watts, rather than get similar performance by stuffing a whole mountain more hardware in a PCIe slot with its own TDP somewhere around 60-100 watts because of all the bus transceivers and other overhead.

As I understand it, they aim the high-TDP parts at the enthusiast/gamer/workstation market where a discrete GPU is just a given, so there'll probably never be a 3700G. Darn!

I bet a lot of ITX builders would be ecstatic if that happens.

Absolutely...
