AMD recently updated its processor product line and launched three Ryzen processors that are officially labeled as "new", with models namely Ryzen 7 4700LE, Ryzen 5 3501U and Ryzen 3 3100U. These three new products are not based on the latest architecture, but re-activate the Zen2 and Zen+ microarchitectures that have been in service for many years. They are mainly targeted at OEM manufacturers and the entry-level desktop, notebook and embedded device markets.
The report pointed out that the Zen+ architecture was first launched in 2018, while Zen2 debuted in 2019 and will now return with a new model in 2026, reflecting AMD’s strategy of continuing to revitalize the old architecture on low-end and long-cycle platforms.
Among them, Ryzen 7 4700LE uses Zen2 architecture, equipped with 8 cores and 16 threads, with a base frequency of 3.6 GHz, a maximum acceleration frequency of 4.2 GHz, a TDP of 65 W, and is oriented to the AM4 slot platform. This product is listed as an OEM-only model, not for the retail market, and unlike most Renoir desktop APUs, AMD's spec page does not mention integrated graphics configuration, meaning it is closer to a pure CPU product.
In terms of mobile products, AMD has added two new processors based on Zen+ architecture and codenamed Picasso to the Ryzen 3000U series, namely Ryzen 5 3501U and Ryzen 3 3100U. The Ryzen 5 3501U uses a 4-core and 8-thread design with a base frequency of 2.1 GHz and a maximum acceleration of 3.7 GHz; while the Ryzen 3 3100U has a 2-core and 2-thread design with a base frequency of 1.9 GHz and a maximum acceleration of 3.2 GHz. It is positioned more towards basic entry-level and ultra-low-cost platforms.
The two new Ryzen 3000U models have exactly the same specifications in terms of graphics and platform support. Both integrate Radeon Vega 8 core graphics, have 8 computing units, and a frequency of 1200 MHz. The memory supports DDR4-2400, and the package form is FP5. The default is 15 W TDP. OEMs can configure it in the 12 W to 35 W range according to system heat dissipation and design requirements to adapt to the power consumption targets of different thin notebooks, mini hosts, or embedded systems.
According to the product page information published by AMD, these two Ryzen 3000U processors are scheduled to be available in the second quarter of 2026 and are clearly targeted at OEM channels. The report also pointed out that Ryzen 7 4700LE will mainly be supplied to OEM desktop platforms, while Ryzen 5 3501U and Ryzen 3 3100U are more likely to appear in low-cost laptops and embedded devices. AMD has not yet announced the official pricing of related products.
