The DSLR refresh cycle has ended. With mirrorless, product cycles can be shortened.
The R5 is the only one with the older processor at this point.
R10, R50, R8, R7, R6II, R3 all have it.
They probably don't want to continue with those older parts for a long time either, better to be more streamlined.
The R10, R50, R8, R7, R3 are not described on the TDP site as having a new processor, only the R6 II. As @koenkooi says, the other features like AF interface are most likely firmware differences or non-processor."The Canon EOS R6 Mark II is the replacement for the original R6 camera and it brings a new sensor with a 20% increase in resolution, plus a new processor for faster continuous shooting and enhanced subject-detection, better video and a host of other improvements."
They all have no recording limits for video with a temperature indicator, same newer AF interface on all of them.
They didn't do much with regards to cooling, but the new processor deals with heat much better and also consumes less power, since the R6II and R8 have increased battery life over the R6 and RP.
Just common sense for Canon to equip everything after the R3 with the newer version.
