Leaked AMD Ryzen 5000 Mobile Lineup Shows Significant Performance Boosts
AMD has attempted to fix their mobile processor naming situation with the launch of Ryzen 5000 desktop processors, by skipping Ryzen 4000 on desktop AMD has brought their mobile and desktop processor generations under the one naming scheme. However, it seems this naming scheme simplification hasn't gone as well as expected with leaked specifications for the upcoming Ryzen 5000 mobile series showing a mix of Zen 2 and Zen 3 processors. The leaked processors include the AMD Ryzen 3 5300U (Zen 2), Ryzen 3 5400U (Zen 3), Ryzen 5 5500U (Zen 2), Ryzen 5 5600U (Zen 3), Ryzen 7 5700U (Zen 2), and the Ryzen 7 5800U (Zen 3).
These new processors will maintain the core counts of their Ryzen 4000 predecessors while gaining a modest bump to base and boost speeds. These clock speed improvements will be accompanied by the claimed 19% IPC uplift on the Zen 3 based processors. The processors will also benefit from increased Vega iGPU cores and iGPU clock speed boosts. This combination should offer significantly improved performance over previous generation Ryzen 4000 mobile processors which already offered strong performance against Intel's offerings. AMD is expected to officially announce these processors at an event in January with prices slightly above previous generations.

I'm willing to bet this is just a way for them to keep selling Renoir, which is at this point well known and optimized, likely at a much better stepping than initially, which might justify new naming (though very much not a shuffled naming with Zen 3 parts). I'd be very surprised if this turned out to be actually new silicon.The poll in the news post asks the rather inane question "Has AMD beaten Intel in the mobile processor market?" which I believe that post is responding to.
I really don't mind them making a Zen 2 refresh series for mobile, but please don't name them the same as the Zen 3 parts. That's just lunacy.
