AMD Ryzen 3 5100 Spotted on Gigabyte X570 CPU Support List
Gigabyte has updated the CPU support list for its X570 AORUS XTREME motherboard, and the usual internet hardware sleuths spotted the addition of an intriguing unreleased AMD CPU—compatible with said board when updated to BIOS version F35. Team Red could be readying the quad-core/eight-thread "Cezanne" Ryzen 3 5100 processor for a forthcoming market launch—the AM4 platform and Zen 3 continue to live on—co-existing with the 7000-series lineup—the "Vermeer-X" Ryzen 5 5600X3D arrives later this week as a Micro Center retail exclusive, and another Cezanne-based unit (an eight-core Ryzen 7 5700) has been added to motherboard support lists.
The Ryzen 3 5100 and Ryzen 7 5700 CPUs were included in SKU manifests from last spring, but did not end up launching in 2022. Both appear to be monolithic die APUs with their iGPUs disabled—the Cezanne CPU microarchitecture is based on TSMC's 7 nm process node. Other news sources posit that these processors have occasionally cropped up as OEM parts on e-commerce platforms, but AMD has (so far) kept very quiet about possible retail releases.

We even may see more new Zen 3 releases in the coming months.
"monolithic die APUs with their iGPUs disabled"
I can't rally see a reasonable use case for a 4C/8T CPU without a iGPU. Except for some headless server which is a quite limited use case.
Edit: Yes they do. The i3-12100F for $88 and the i3-13100F for $122.
BTW, all CPUs had no IGP for decades (1970-2010) before Sandy Bridge.
Ever since they brought Renoir back from the dead to reconstitute the low end (about 2 years too late), AMD seems to have taken a shine to iGPU-less ultra low end parts. Can't say I'm surprised it hasn't made much of a dent on the market.
