Kind of a misleading title. It's not next gen processors (you'd expect Zen 5). It's still Zen 4.


It's the next generation of AMD G desktop processors with significant graphics. (The earlier Zen4 chips have graphics, but not significant graphics)

The last gen of those was Zen3, 5000G series. These are now Zen4 and also RDNA3 instead of Vega. So new generations in cpu and gpu.


Is it actually misleading? AMD never makes claim that their consumer branding relates to uArch. AMD still has Zen 2 in their 'modern' lineups. Intel also has previous generation uArch in current SKUs, and let's not talk about the 10->11 and 12->13 gen "refreshes".

Maybe the technically inclined of us would expect Zen 5 because we're keeping note of CPU uArches but to the general public they won't care. They will just see it's the biggest numbered AMD chip and expect it to be their best offering - which for integrated graphics on the desktop it is.


I'd expect next generation to imply new architecture.


Doesn't it have a GPU architecture never released into desktop CPUs?


Very misleading.

As I have said before, HN needs a "misleading title" flag.
