AMD Adds 11 Zen 4 Ryzen 100 and 200 Chips, Blurring Older-Series Labels

Summary
11 new AMD notebook processors have appeared in the Ryzen 200 and 100 families, with seven chips in the 200 series and four in the 100 series despite those labels suggesting older designs.
Zen 4 underpins all of the additions: the Ryzen 200 models include standard Zen 4 and hybrid Zen 4/Zen 4c parts, while the new Ryzen 100 chips are Hawk Point-based on 4nm with RDNA 3 graphics, not Zen 3+ as AMD's site had indicated.
Core counts span 4, 6 and 8 cores, and integrated graphics range from Radeon 740M to 780M, extending the stack for lower-cost laptops and mini PCs.
OEMs are now expected to roll out systems using the chips, but the expanded lineup also makes AMD's simplified naming scheme harder to read because similar series numbers now cover different architectures.
