New AMD CPUs are hiding in plain sight. Appeared in Puget Systems Benchmark Database, known as the Ryzen 5 7500F. Interesting as it may be, after being listed in that database, a Korean retailer listed (and removed) his 7500F with his KRW retail price ranging from $170 to $180. And it will probably go on sale on July 7th.
The 7500F’s specs are open to speculation. Assuming AMD is following Intel’s nomenclature, the 7500F likely won’t come with integrated graphics.
The entry of Puget Systems was discovered by @harukaze5719. It was listed as part of a system containing an Nvidia GeForce RTX 4080 and an Asus X670E-F gaming motherboard. The 7500F system scored close to that of the comparable Ryzen 5 7600 system on the same Puget bench benchmark, namely DaVinci Resolve.
The lack of an IGP is one thing, but what about the actual chip underneath the Ryzen 5 7500F’s heat spreader? One is that it is based on existing single CCD Raphael designs that include 7600 to 7800X3D. Another option, less likely, is based on mobile CPUs.
The Ryzen 5 7600 is a 6-core desktop processor. It comes with one 8-core die (2 cores disabled) and another I/O die containing RDNA 2 integrated graphics. This means the 7500F is almost certainly a downclocked 7600 with IGP disabled, probably for yield reasons. AMD should have plenty of 12nm IO dies by now and such a model makes sense.
AMD also makes monolithic mobile CPUs with up to 8 Zen 4 cores but considering the powerful integrated graphics and the engineering cost of porting these designs to the AM5 platform the 7500F is based on these chips I think it is unlikely. It’s also too early to get an inventory of harvested molds. My money would be invested in his 7500F which is his 7600 downclocked with IGP disabled.
The South Korean listing has been removed, but probably by AMD’s orders, Videocardz got the specs before it was removed. The CPU is set to run at a boost clock of 5.0GHz, which is 100MHz lower than the Ryzen 5 7600. With equal amounts of L2 and L3 cache (38MB total), given the 7600 selling price, $229 before discountprices under $200 seem like a safe bet, loosely confirmed by the now-deleted South Korean listing.
The Ryzen 5 7500F would be a welcome addition to the AM5 family. The cost of buying an AM5 system has dropped in recent months, especially due to the significant drop in DDR5 prices, but his $229 Ryzen 5 7600 is still the cheapest model. No Ryzen 3 chips have been released at this time. This makes the 7500F particularly interesting as a budget gaming CPU. It may not quite match the excellent Core i5 13400F, but the lifespan of the AM5 socket is a few years away and a platform upgrade should a replacement Zen 5 or Zen 6 chip come along in the future. can be expected. the way.
