ASUS Turkey Leaks Details of AMD's Upcoming Ryzen 7000 Mobile CPU
ASUS Turkey has jumped the gun and revealed ASUS' upcoming Zenbook 14 laptop, which in itself might not be a big deal, but the UM3402 as the specific model is known as, will apparently be available with an AMD Ryzen 7 7730U CPU. As AMD has as yet to unveil such a CPU, it appears that ASUS Turkey has gotten ahead of things. A quick search for the Zenbook 14 SKU in question reveals that the current UM3402 model has a Ryzen 5825U processor.
The remaining specs appear identical to the current model, but this is clearly not a typo, as the CPU SKU is mentioned at multiple points on the product page. Based on AMD's CPU model name "decoder", the Ryzen 7 7730U is based on a Zen 3 or a Zen 3+ core that sits in the 15-28 W TDP range. According to Videocardz, it will be using an AMD Vega based GPU. Beyond that, we don't know any specifics about the CPU, but one thing that stands out and may or may not be correct, is that the Zenbook 14 is only listed as supporting two USB 3.2 10 Gbps USB-C ports, rather than USB4, which seems a bit odd. Then again, this is a lower-tier CPU, so it's possible that this is the reason for lack of USB4 support. The fact that ASUS has moved to an IPS based display, from an OLED display on the current UM3402 SKU, also suggests that this might be a cheaper model in ASUS lineup.

On the desktop side, the AM4 budget and AM5 enthusiast platforms remind me of the Socket 754/939 era.
I think it is smart to continue to use as much already developed Silicon to cover different parts of the market. I just wish the model naming could be more clear.
Zen3+Vega
Zen4+RDNA3
i think everyone want buy Zen4
For the average consumer, it's not going to help though, as it's clear as mud.
Back to the point, most do not think of model naming being based off of year but maybe Intel and AMD can make it stick. It helps that any GPU and CPU architecture in the last five years serves the vast majority of consumers worldwide no matter the SKU.

Then again, it might just be a cheap, drop-in replacement CPU for the 5000-series.
Jokes aside.
Naming for next gEn lApToPs models are WtF...
Ryzen 5XXX APUs ported to 6nm already exist as 6XXX, and are free of the Vega graphics boat anchor.
It appears that the page has been taken down now.
The Ryzen 5 7520U is Mendocino-based (Zen 2), another CPU you should expect to see plenty in laptops at lower segments
