AMD quietly launches new Zen2/Zen+ APUs: Ryzen 7 4700LE arrives as OEM-only AM4 desktop CPU with no iGPU
Older Renoir and Picasso designs return in 2026.
AMD has quietly added three processors to its official product pages. The list includes Ryzen 7 4700LE for desktops and two Ryzen 3000U mobile parts, Ryzen 5 3501U and Ryzen 3 3100U.
4700LE: Zen2 CPU
Ryzen 7 4700LE is listed as an OEM-only desktop processor. Ryzen 7 4700LE is based on Renoir and uses Zen 2 CPU cores. AMD gives it 8 cores and 16 threads, a 3.6 GHz base clock and up to 4.2 GHz boost. The CPU has a 65W default TDP and uses the AM4 socket, but AMD lists no integrated graphics. A discrete graphics card is required.
3000U: Zen+ CPUs
The two Ryzen 3000U parts are listed under laptop processors, although AMD’s page shows “laptops, desktops” as the form factor. Ryzen 5 3501U has 4 cores and 8 threads, a 2.1 GHz base clock and up to 3.7 GHz boost. Ryzen 3 3100U is a 2-core and 2-thread model with a 1.9 GHz base clock and up to 3.2 GHz boost. That’s a Zen+ CPUs, which were first introduced in 2019.

Both Picasso parts include Radeon Vega 8 graphics with 8 GPU cores clocked at 1200 MHz. They also share a 15W default TDP, 12W to 35W configurable TDP, FP5 socket and DDR4-2400 memory support. AMD lists both chips with a Q2 2026 launch window.
Ryzen PRO 200 update
AMD is also expanding older product families elsewhere. At Computex 2026, the company added several Ryzen PRO 200 models to its commercial lineup, including Ryzen 7 PRO 253, Ryzen 7 PRO 217, Ryzen 5 PRO 225, Ryzen 5 PRO 216 and Ryzen 3 PRO 205.
AMD has not announced pricing or retail availability for these three parts. The Ryzen 7 4700LE is marked as OEM-only, so it will likely appear in prebuilt systems rather than boxed retail channels. The Ryzen 3000U parts are also most likely intended for low-cost systems where platform reuse is more important than a new architecture. Perhaps Qualcomm C-series competitor ? But who wants to buy a Zen2 laptop in 2026?
