The processor market is currently largely dominated by AMD and its high-performance solutions. It appears that the company is already working on new solutions that will hit the market shortly. As leaked by 'rogame' on its Twitter account, AMD is working on the Ryzen 4000G based on the Zen2 architecture. You will be the first APUs on the market based on 7nm lithography.
Currently, the Ryzen 3000G series is based on the 12nm Zen+ architecture, being the first to be based on Zen 2. It's worth noting that AMD often names its APUs after the next generation of processors. This same practice has been used for laptop processors, a strategy that can lead to confusion.

The leaked data does not show the number of cores and threads of these new processors from the company. One of the characteristics of these processors is that they have a TDP of 25W, something that would only be possible thanks to being based on 7nm. These new processors may come with more cores and threads than the company's current APUs.
Inside the tweet we find that the processor works at a frequency of 3.0GHz, which would equate it in performance to the Ryzen 5 4600U and Ryzen 7 4700U. The iGPU data is also unclear, indicating only a frequency of 1.2GHz. This frequency would be lower than the RX Vega Mobile of 6 Compute Units of Renoir architecture.
This new processor is codenamed 'Artic' based on a specific motherboard from AMD. Perhaps 'Artic' refers to a new chipset or the name of these new APUs, it is not very clear. Another interesting fact is that it has support for DDR4-3200 RAM, which would confirm that it would be a desktop APU. These APUs are likely to be compatible with AMD 300 Series and 400 Series chipset motherboards through a simple firmware update.
