AMD Ryzen 5 7500F Desktop CPU Launches Globally For $179 US, Budget 6 Core Without iGPU
AMD has officially launched its budget-aimed Ryzen 5 7500F CPU, a 6-core Zen 4 chip with a price of just $179 US.
AMD Launches Its First Sub-$200 US AM5 Chip, The Ryzen 5 7500F - Global Availability Starting At $179 US
The AMD Ryzen 5 7500F Desktop CPU leaked out earlier this month & we got to see some benches in a follow up however today, the company has officially unveiled the chip along with reviews that are mostly coming from Asian tech outlets. Regardless, this chip is a global variant that should be available on retail shelves starting tomorrow (24th of July).
Starting with the specifications, the AMD Ryzen 5 7500F Desktop CPU "100-000000597" features 6 cores based on the Zen 4 core architecture, 12 threads, 6 MB of L2 cache, and 32 MB of L3 cache. The CPU is clocked at 3.7 GHz base and 5.0 GHz boost which is 100 MHz slower than the Ryzen 5 7600 and retains the 65 Watt TDP design. The CPU will come with a bundled Wraith Stealth CPU cooler which fits perfectly with its budget design and will be priced at $179 US which makes it the cheapest Ryzen 7000 AM5 CPU on the market so far.
One of the main changes of this chip besides the slightly lower clock speeds is the exclusion of the iGPU. All AMD Ryzen 7000 CPUs feature a Radeon 710M iGPU with 2 compute units but that isn't the case with the Ryzen 5 7500F. This chip has no iGPU but considering that most people running it are going to be using a discrete GPU anyways (budget gamers), it makes sense. In terms of overall performance, the AMD Ryzen 5 7500F performs almost identical to the Ryzen 5 7600 and offers up to 95% performance of the Ryzen 5 7600X at a much cheaper price. It also runs cooler and has low power consumption which are two great things for budget builds.
Korean outlet, QuasarZone, review the chip and found out that the chip delivers the same exact performance as the Ryzen 5 7600 in games with a total power draw of sub-70W. At its $179 price, the AMD Ryzen 5 7500F should be very competitive against the Intel Core i5-13400 and i5-13500 which also retail around the $200 US segment. This is definitely a chip that should make the AM5 platform more appealing to budget builders and we cannot wait for more options in the sub-$200 category from AMD.
