Such a processor is sold by a LOT of online stores throughout Eastern Europe (and at least a couple dozen pretend to have it on stock), see an example here: imgur link

However, searching by either the name or the product id on the AMD site didn't get me anything; except for the 7nm claim (LOL) repeated on most sites, the specs match most closely the "AMD Athlon™ PRO 200GE" (YD200BC6M2OFB) which, like all Athlon-labeled Zen 1 based processors does not support NVMe M.2 SSDs, which may be a very nasty surprise (even assuming that it's a genuine AMD processor).

So my question is: did AMD ever sell such a deceptively-named part through third-world countries, or is this simply a scam?

My results of a search for "2100GE" on the AMD site are different, giving me 6 links - https://www.amd.com/en/search?keyword=2100GE Clicking on the Links mentions them specifically with "AMD Ryzen™ Desktop Processors with Radeon™ Vega Graphics Compatibility"

I also searched on Ingram Micro (in New Zealand). Ingram Micro are a highly reputable multinational distributor of computer parts. While they don't list the 2100GE for sale, searches for 21000GE show a single result - the 2200GE CPU.

Further, the performance tests on https://www.cpubenchmark.net/mobile/cpu.php?id=3452 - particularly coupled with the 1189 samples also evidence the distribution of the chip.

So yes, that chip did exist ,although I suspect only shipped to limited markets or specific OEMs - I could not find any boxed versions for sale on ebay ? Looking further https://linustechtips.com/topic/1376841-amd-am4-ryzen-3-pro-2100ge/ suggest it was sold in limited quantities in HP systems.
