Mysterious Ryzen Pro 7000G CPUs imply AMD's last-minute decision to change model numbers — Ryzen 3 Pro 7300G and Ryzen 5 Pro 7500G pose for the camera

AMD's Ryzen 5 7500G and Ryzen 3 7300G processors.

When AMD released its Ryzen 8000G and Ryzen Pro 8000G-series processors based on the Zen 4 microarchitecture earlier this year, it surprised many observers by not using the 7000 model range, which is already known for using the same Zen 4 technology. But if pictures of AMD's Ryzen 3 Pro 7300G and Ryzen 5 Pro 7500G published at Chiphell are to be believed, the red company planned to release its current-gen APUs with these model numbers at some point.

AMD's purported Ryzen 3 Pro 7300G and Ryzen 5 Pro 7500G have the same 100-000001187 and 100-000001183 OPNs as AMD's Ryzen 3 Pro 8300G and Ryzen 5 Pro 8500G processors, which suggests that the parts have the exact specifications. It indicates that AMD changed the model numbers of its Zen 4-based APUs to the Ryzen 8000G sequence after customers had developed and sampled them.
