AMD would like to produce and sell mobile CPUs, which are a very important market for chip makers, and which rely very much on betting on the smallest possible node, to minimize power consumption.

Any sources for this? As far as I know, AMD has never designed CPU for mobiles.

As far as mobiles broadly, my laptop has a Ryzen CPU in it.

It's not out of the question for them to consider such a move, but I think that the bigger issue here for AMD is that it means they will wind up a mode behind the edge, giving their main competitor- Intel- more time to catch up.
