AMD to rebrand and re-release some older mobile CPUs

AMD is reportedly planning a new rebranding effort, one that will take a number of older-generation laptop processors and rename them under the new Ryzen 10 or Ryzen 100 series. 

As spotted by @Olrak29_ (via VideoCardz), the changes affect the Ryzen 7035 (Rembrandt-R, Zen 3+) and Ryzen 7020 (Mendocino, Zen 2) series, chips that originally launched back in 2023. Similar to Intel's “Core Series 1” branding, the Ryzen 7035 parts are being reborn as the Ryzen 100 series. For example, a laptop previously listed with a Ryzen 7 7735U might now show up with a Ryzen 7 160.

Similarly, the lower-end Mendocino chips are adopting a two-digit naming scheme, becoming the Ryzen 10 series. So, a Ryzen 5 7520U will now be known as a Ryzen 5 40. Note that these are purely name changes; the underlying silicon, core counts, clock speeds, and performance remain identical to the original 2023 parts. The detailed list of parts can be found below:

• Athlon Silver 7120U → Athlon Silver 10: 2C/2T
• Athlon Gold 7220U → Athlon Gold 20: 2C/4T
• Ryzen 3 7320U → Ryzen 3 30: 4C/8T
• Ryzen 5 7520U → Ryzen 5 40: 4C/8T
• Ryzen 3 7335U → Ryzen 3 110: 4C/8T
• Ryzen 5 7535U → Ryzen 5 130: 6C/12T
• Ryzen 5 7535HS → Ryzen 5 150: 6C/12T
• Ryzen 7 7735U → Ryzen 7 160: 8C/16T
• Ryzen 7 7735HS → Ryzen 7 170: 8C/16T

AMD's official website has already been updated to reflect these new names,

KitGuru says: While there are some key changes here, the general Ryzen 3, Ryzen 5 and Ryzen 7 structure remains the same.
