Yes, look for CPU models suffixed with “G”. Unfortunately typically only available on the lower-tier models.

These are a full generation behind, though. 3xxxG is Zen+, 4xxxG is Zen 2. Memory compatibility is substantially worse (the Ryzen 3000 / Zen 2 memory controller is very good actually, but severely bottlenecked by Infinity Fabric) and CPU performance is quite a lot worse clock-per-clock as well.
