AMD has re-entered the CPU landscape with a fresh lineup consisting of renamed processors from its Zen 2 and Zen 3+ architectures, branded as the Ryzen 10 and Ryzen 100 series.
AMD’s Quiet Launch of Ryzen 10 and Ryzen 100 Series: Near-Identical Specs to Original WeUs
AMD and Intel have a long-standing tradition of releasing refreshed processors. However, recent trends indicate that these updates may prioritize branding over true performance enhancements. For instance, Intel recently launched the Core i5 120 and 120F processors, effectively rebranding the Core i5 12400 and 1200F. Now, AMD follows suit with a similar approach for its mobile CPU offerings.
The tech giant has equipped its product pages with new entries that reflect the Ryzen 10 and Ryzen 100 series, categorized under the Zen 2 “Mendocino”and Zen 3+ “Rembrandt”mobile architectures. Notably, the Ryzen 10 series introduces four new WeUs:
Specifications of Ryzen 10 Series
| Specs/SKU | Ryzen 5 40 | Ryzen 3 30 | Athlon Gold 20 | Athlon Silver 10 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Architecture | It was 2 | It was 2 | It was 2 | It was 2 |
| Cores/Threads | 4/8 | 4/8 | 2/4 | 2/2 |
| Clocks (Base/Boost) | 2.8/4.8 GHz | 2.4/4.1 GHz | 2.4/3.7 GHz | 2.4/3.5 GHz |
| L3 Cache | 4 MB | 4 MB | 4 MB | 2 MB |
| iGPU | Radeon 610M | Radeon 610M | Radeon 610M | Radeon 610M |
| TDP | 15W | 15W | 15W | 15W |
| Launch Date | 10/1/2025 | 10/1/2025 | 10/1/2025 | 10/1/2025 |
The specifications of the Ryzen 10 series processors are strikingly close to those of AMD’s original mobile chips. The new models are categorized as follows:
- Ryzen 5 40 → Ryzen 5 7520U
- Ryzen 3 30 → Ryzen 3 7320U
- Athlon Gold 20 → Athlon Gold 7220U
- Athlon Silver 10 → Athlon Silver 7120U
Furthermore, the Ryzen 100 series represents the Rembrandt family, constructed on the Zen 3+ architecture. Similarly, these specifications are identical to the original Rembrandt WeUs, emphasizing AMD’s strategy of gradual updates rather than substantial changes.
Specifications of Ryzen 100 Series
| Specs/SKU | Ryzen 7 170 | Ryzen 7 160 | Ryzen 5 150 | Ryzen 5 130 | Ryzen 3 110 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Architecture | It was 3+ | It was 3+ | It was 3+ | It was 3+ | It was 3+ |
| Cores/Threads | 8/16 | 8/16 | 6/12 | 6/12 | 4/8 |
| Clocks (Base/Boost) | 3.2/4.75 GHz | 2.7/4.75 GHz | 3.3/4.55 GHz | 2.9/4.55 GHz | 3/4.3 GHz |
| L2+L3 Cache | 4+16 MB | 4+16 MB | 3+16 MB | 3+16 MB | 2+8 MB |
| iGPU | Radeon 680M | Radeon 680M | Radeon 660M | Radeon 660M | Radeon 660M |
| TDP | 45W | 28W | 45W | 28W | 28W |
| Launch Date | 10/01/2025 | 10/01/2025 | 10/01/2025 | 10/01/2025 | 10/01/2025 |
The processors within the Ryzen 100 series correspond to the following original models:
- Ryzen 7 170 → Ryzen 7 7735HX
- Ryzen 7 160 → Ryzen 7 7735U
- Ryzen 5 150 → Ryzen 5 7535HS
- Ryzen 5 130 → Ryzen 5 7535U
- Ryzen 3 110 → Ryzen 3 7335U
These newly minted processors officially debuted on October 10, 2025. They are expected to gradually replace their original counterparts in upcoming laptop and mobile device launches. Interestingly, AMD’s adoption of two and three-digit WeU formats marks a significant shift in its naming conventions, mirroring Intel’s recent strategy with its Alder Lake series.
