AMD has quietly launched the Ryzen 5 7500F, its most affordable Zen 4-based processor ever. As its name suggests, the Ryzen 5 7500F, which lacks an integrated graphics unit unlike its siblings, will be available all over the world in the coming periods. The Ryzen 5 7500F looks like a nice option, especially for those looking to build an affordable AM5 system. Let’s get into the details now.AMD Ryzen 5 7500F specifications
The AMD Ryzen 5 7500F is a hexa-core and 12-thread processor running at a base clock speed of 3.70 GHz and a maximum clock speed of 5.0 GHz. With a total of 6MB of L2 cache, 32MB of L3 cache and officially supporting DDR5-5200, the Ryzen 5 7500F has a dual-channel DDR5 memory subsystem that can handle much higher data transfer rates, especially when used with modules that support AMD’s EXPO profiles.| DH | Price | Kernel/Trace | Base and Boost clock speed | TDP |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Ryzen 5 7600X | $299 | 6/12 | 4.7GHz / 5.3GHz | 105W |
| Ryzen 5 7600 | $229 | 6/12 | 3.8GHz / 5.1GHz | 65W |
| Ryzen 5 7500F | $179 | 6/12 | 3.7GHz / 5.0GHz | 65W |
With a TDP of 65W, the Ryzen 5 7500F is in the multiplier locked state, so it’s not possible to overclock the processor – at least not easily. Users who want to overclock should therefore turn to the slightly more expensive Ryzen 5 7600X. Like the rest of the Zen 4-based Ryzen 7000 series CPUs released to date, the Ryzen 5 7500F processor has 28 PCIe Gen5 lanes; four of these are used to connect to the chipset, four for high-performance M.2 SSD with PCIe 5.0 x4 interface, and 16 for graphics cards and other bandwidth-hungry components.
Speaking of graphics card, as the ‘F’ in the model number suggests, this CPU does not have an integrated GPU and requires a discrete graphics card. For gamers with mostly office workloads of iGPUs on Ryzen 7000 series CPUs, this isn’t a big deal.
How much is the AMD Ryzen 5 7500F price?
The price of AMD Ryzen 5 7500F was announced as $ 179. Thus, the processor is currently the most affordable model in the Ryzen 7000 series. In addition, the Ryzen 5 7500F has a Wraith Stealth cooling solution in its box. The processor is compatible with current A620, X670E, X670, B650E and AM5 motherboards with B650 chips.
AMD Ryzen 5 7500F performance
The Ryzen 5 7500F first went on sale in the Asian market. In terms of gaming performance, the Ryzen 5 7500F seems to outshine its Intel counterparts, including the new Core i5-13500 and 13400. On the other hand, the Ryzen 5 7500F is up to 12 percent faster than the previous generation Ryzen 5 5600X. Compared to the current generation, it is seen that the processor is not much different with the Ryzen 5 7600 and 7600X.
