It's the Ryzen 6000 or 7000 series.
The series with desktop APUs are the ones designed for direct use on a computer's desktop, offering integrated graphics performance.
We won't have clarity until official statements come out, but based on the current trends it seems the 6000 series will remain solely mobile APUs and the 7000 series could represent the next generation for desktops. My prediction is that the 7000 series will be the place for future APUs, though it's just an assumption. We'll know for sure once the announcements are made. There were also whispers suggesting every AM5 chip might include an integrated GPU, which could signal the arrival of a new APU line.
The mobile APUs are built on Zen 3+, which means AMD increased the series to 6000, and Zen 4 will be at 7000. The exact number will likely depend on the architecture of future desktop APUs. If the next desktop APU uses Zen 3+, it will be 6000; if Zen 4 is adopted, it will be 7000. Given that Zen 3+ focuses mainly on power efficiency and a 6nm process, it’s unlikely AMD would release a desktop APU with Zen 3+ since it wouldn’t offer significant advantages over current Zen 3 models.
