AMD has quietly released three new processor entries for the original equipment manufacturing market. The company added the Ryzen 7 4700LE to its lineup alongside refreshed versions of older chips. These parts target budget and entry-level commercial systems rather than consumer desktops.
New chips target budget commercial systems with Zen 2 architecture
The Ryzen 7 4700LE uses the older Zen 2 architecture built on the Renoir platform. It features eight processing cores but lacks any integrated graphics unit. Users must install a separate discrete graphics card to get video output from this chip.
Spec comparison
| Spec | Ryzen 7 4700LE | Ryzen 5 3501U | Ryzen 3 3100U |
|---|---|---|---|
| Architecture | Zen 2 (Renoir) | Zen+ (Picasso) | Zen+ (Picasso) |
| Cores / Threads | 8 cores | 4 cores | 2 cores |
| Integrated Graphics | None | Vega 8 @ 1.2GHz | Vega 8 @ 1.2GHz |
This processor carries a thermal design power rating of 65 watts. Its highest boost clock reaches 4.2 gigahertz under load. The chip joins two other models that reuse specifications from previous generations for new OEM builds.
AMD also lists the Ryzen 5 3501U as part of this release cycle. This four-core processor matches the specs of the 2019 Ryzen 5 3500U and includes Vega 8 graphics running at 1.2 gigahertz. The lineup rounds out with the two-core Ryzen 3 3100U which retains full L1 cache.
The Ryzen 7 4700LE is scheduled to arrive on March 25, 2026. The remaining Renoir-based models will ship during the second quarter of that year. These dates align with broader commercial processor updates shown at COMPUTEX 2026.
