AMD is once again back with renamed processors from the Zen 2 and Zen 3+ families in the form of Ryzen 10 and Ryzen 100 series.
AMD Silently Releases Zen 3+ Based "Rembrandt" Ryzen 100 and Zen 2-Based "Mendocino" Ryzen 10 Series With Specs Almost Identical to Original SKUs
Launching refresh CPUs is a usual routine for both AMD and Intel, but if you have been seeing how they have been doing it for a while, it's clear that "performance" isn't their actual intention behind every refresh chip. A few months ago, Intel launched Core 5 120 and 120F processors, which are essentially rebadged Core i5 12400 and 1200F CPUs, respectively. And now we have AMD doing the same for two of its mobile CPU lineups.
AMD has already prepared the product pages for several of its refreshed or, should I say, "rebadged" CPUs, belonging to the Zen 2 "Mendocino" and Zen 3+ "Rembrandt R" mobile series. AMD calls them Ryzen 10 and Ryzen 100 series, respectively. The Zen 2 Mendocino refreshed series, aka Ryzen 10, brings four new SKUs:
Ryzen 10 Series
| Specs/SKU | Ryzen 5 40 | Ryzen 3 30 | Athlon Gold 20 | Athlon Silver 10 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Architecture | Zen 2 | Zen 2 | Zen 2 | Zen 2 |
| Cores/Threads | 4/8 | 4/8 | 2/4 | 2/2 |
| Clocks (Base/Boost) | 2.8/4.8 GHz | 2.4/4.1 GHz | 2.4/3.7 GHz | 2.4/3.5 GHz |
| L2+L3 Cache | 2+4 MB | 2+4 MB | 1+4 MB | 1+2 MB |
| iGPU | Radeon 610M | Radeon 610M | Radeon 610M | Radeon 610M |
| TDP | 15W | 15W | 15W | 15W |
| Launch Date | 10/1/2025 | 10/1/2025 | 10/1/2025 | 10/1/2025 |
Specs-wise, these are completely identical to the refresh of original Zen 2-based mobile chips (i.e, Ryzen 7000HS/U series), and if you compare the specs, you will find that the new Ryzen 10 series processors correspond to these processors:
- Ryzen 5 40 -> Ryzen 5 7520U
- Ryzen 3 30 -> Ryzen 3 7320U
- Athlon Gold 20 -> Athlon Gold 7220U
- Athlon Silver 10 -> Athlon Silver 7120U
Then we have the Ryzen 100 series, which corresponds to the Rembrandt CPU family based on the Zen 3+ architecture. Similar to above, we see that the specs are identical to the Ryzen 7000 Rembrandt R series SKUs.
Ryzen 100 Series
| Specs/SKU | Ryzen 7 170 | Ryzen 7 160 | Ryzen 5 150 | Ryzen 5 130 | Ryzen 3 110 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Architecture | Zen 3+ | Zen 3+ | Zen 3+ | Zen 3+ | Zen 3+ |
| Cores/Threads | 8/16 | 8/16 | 6/12 | 6/12 | 4/8 |
| Clocks (Base/Boost) | 3.2/4.75 GHz | 2.7/4.75 GHz | 3.3/4.55 GHz | 2.9/4.55 GHz | 3/4.3 GHz |
| L2+L3 Cache | 4+16 MB | 4+16 MB | 3+16 MB | 3+16 MB | 2+8 MB |
| iGPU | Radeon 680M | Radeon 680M | Radeon 660M | Radeon 660M | Radeon 660M |
| TDP | 45W | 28W | 45W | 28W | 28W |
| Launch Date | 10/01/2025 | 10/01/2025 | 10/01/2025 | 10/01/2025 | 10/01/2025 |
- Ryzen 7 170 -> Ryzen 7 7735HS
- Ryzen 7 160 -> Ryzen 7 7735U
- Ryzen 5 150 -> Ryzen 5 7535HS
- Ryzen 5 130 -> Ryzen 5 7535U
- Ryzen 3 110 -> Ryzen 3 7335U
These processors launched on 10th October, 2025, and one should expect these to replace the original ones in the upcoming laptop/mobile devices very soon. As far as the naming convention is concerned, I think this is the first time AMD has adopted two and three-digit formats for the SKU names. It's similar to how Intel renamed some of its Alder Lake 12th-gen series SKUs, as we have talked about earlier.
