A mysterious AMD AM5 Desktop CPU known as the Ryzen 5 7500F has been spotted within the Puget Systems benchmark database.
AMD Ryzen 5 7500F 6-Core Desktop CPU Shows Up In Puget Systems Benchmark, Aiming Sub-$200 US Pricing
The AMD Ryzen 5 7500F is a CPU that hasn't been officially introduced yet. Based on the listing, it comes with 6 cores and 12 threads and features a clock speed that's 100 MHz lower than the AMD Ryzen 5 7600 at 5.0 GHz (boost). The chip was tested on an ASUS ROG STRIX X670E-F Gaming WIFI motherboard using the 1303 BIOS version and an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 graphics card.
What's interesting about this chip is that while it may be utilizing the same Zen 4 cores as the Ryzen 7000 lineup, the Ryzen 5 7500F is listed as an "F" variant which is something that we haven't seen on AMD CPUs. For Intel, such chips are usually parts that lack integrated graphics capabilities and that may or may not be the case here. We know that AMD's Ryzen 7000 CPUs come with an RDNA 2 iGPU featuring 2 compute units, the Radeon 710M. Now as confirmed by a Korean retailer, this chip indeed doesn't pack an iGPU so its very similar to Intel's "F" chips.
Also, the AMD Ryzen 5 7500F as an SKU is also interesting. AMD seems to be expanding its lineup with more options. The Ryzen 5 7500F CPU will sit below the Ryzen 5 7600 and it is likely that we'll be getting a price below the $200 US range since it will be around 10-15 USD cheaper than AMD's Ryzen 5 7600 as stated by the Korean retailer.
Currently, the Ryzen 5 7600 (Non-X) retails around the $220-$230 US mark and AMD really needs something in the sub-$200 US market on AM5 if they're willing to compete with Intel's Core i5-13400 and Core i5-13500 CPUs.
AMD recently introduced its Ryzen 5 5600X3D which will also be available close to the $200 US mark but that chip will only be sold exclusively in the US by Microcenter. The Ryzen 5 7500F, if priced right, has the potential to be a very popular chip and we can also expect a Starfield bundle for the chip.
