It's actually 3rd Generation, Zen3 (generations have been Zen (1x00 series), Zen+ (2x00 series), Zen 2 (3000 series) and Zen 3 (5x00 series) the naming schema has been a little of a mess. the mobile parts to begin with were 1000 up on the desktop parts, (so mobile 2x00 is Zen, not Zen+), they corrected that and brought it in line with the 5000 series nomenclature.
