AMD Ryzen 5000U lineup to feature Lucienne and Cezanne cores

Rumors are popping up that AMD will tap two architectures for its Ryzen 5000U mobile processor series. VideoCardz writes there are now details about four 5000U series parts, two of them based on the Cezanne architecture and another two based on Lucienne. The latter appears to be a refresh of the Renoir APU.

If this is true, it means some Ryzen 5000U parts will still be based on the Zen 2 architecture.

Interestingly, the Ryzen 5000U series would allegedly feature both Cezanne (Zen3) and Lucienne (Ze2) processors in the lineup. According to the rumors they would be offered alternately, where for instance, Ryzen 7 5800U would use Zen3 core design, but 5700U would rely on Zen2. This certainly does seem confusing and this rumor should be taken with a grain of salt, however, this is the most recent one that has not been debunked as yet.

One rumor claims Luciene is an exclusive APU for Google, so perhaps these parts will not end up in other devices.
