Zen was the first core design, Zen+ was an enhancement on it, Zen 2 the newest generation. This is analogous to intel chip generations.
Ryzen 3, 5, 7 and 9 are like your Core i3, i5, i7 and i9 - market differentiators.
I agree that when you start looking at the actual model numbers, they're all over the place. Zen 2 laptop products are 4000 series, but Zen 2 desktop products are 3000. I think this was a mistake, personally.

- the_duke 6y agoDon't forget gems like the Ryzen 5 3400G, which is a Zen 1 (not Zen2) APU.
- AnthonyMouse 6y agoThe 3400G is Zen+. It's the 2400G which is Zen 1.
