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

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.

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").
So I'm guessing it shouldn't affect any of the more recent and very popular Zen3 cpus like the 5600, 5700 etc. I personally own a 5600, which are a great bang for buck.
It's in rather a sweet-spot as far as performance-power-area, so this isn't entirely a bad thing. Zen3's main innovation was unifying the CCXs/caches, but if you only have a 4C, or you want to be able to power-gate a CCX (and its attendant IF links/caches) down entirely, Zen2 does that better, and it's slightly smaller. We'll be seeing Zen2 products for years to come, most likely.
