But the slightly tweaked "old stuff" is relatively low-end - up to and including the 5700U. You'll find it in thin 'n light, budget and business laptops that will have more than enough power from a Zen 2 core. If you really absolutely need more power, you'll know it and you'll be shopping for a 5800H (or above).

If you don't know enough about CPUs to even read reviews that compare the CPU to other CPUs, then you either don't need the extra IPC of Zen 3 (and you won't notice when you use your laptop day to day) or you just... don't care.

If you care, get a 5600U/5800U or H line and it will never affect you. The laptops these come in should be priced accordingly.
