No, it's all Zen 2 CPUs, which include both desktop CPUs (with or without integrated graphics, laptop CPUs, and server CPUs. The reason why the product list is so confusing is that AMD reuses architectures across generations. You'd think that all ryzen 5000 series CPUs have the same microarchitecture, but they don't). It's much easier to consult this list instead: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zen_2#Products


FYI this list isn't exhaustive. And I went to recommend the wikichips link and it's not exhaustive either.

Both of them are missing the newer 7000-family products with Zen2 like 7520U etc.

The 7520U and 7530U are listed on the linked Wikipedia page. Look under "Ultra-mobile APUs".

The Athlon is missing, though.

Wait... now there's also APU's under the AMD Athlon brand? I know that people are happy when AMD's product offerings are on-par or outperforming Intel, but they didn't have to outdo Intel in the consumer confusion arena as well.


Has been for a while.

Intel also used the Pentium branding for low-end processors (below i3 and in the Atom lineup), and followed it up with the rather perplexing move of using their company name as the sole branding for their worst products ("Intel Processor").


Ryzen 7x2y are Zen 4 fused down to Zen 2, not originally taped out as Zen 2.
