AMD is set to debut its latest processor, the Ryzen 5 7500F, exclusively in the Chinese market. While official details are yet to be announced, industry sources have confirmed the processor's release at the end of this month.
Unlike AMD's APU die, the Ryzen 5 7500F is built from the standard Ryzen 7000 silicon. The chip will be available for China retailers, e-tailers, and system integrators. This article delves into the specifications and features of the Ryzen 5 7500F.
Specifications and Features:
The Ryzen 5 7500F features six cores and twelve threads, operating with a 65W TDP. Clock speeds, as indicated by MSI's compatibility list, are expected to be slightly lower than the Ryzen 5 7600. Similar to Intel's F-series processors, the Ryzen 5 7500F does not have an integrated graphics engine. AMD's chiplet strategy utilizes the I/O die for the small integrated RDNA 2 GPU engine, setting it apart from Intel's monolithic silicon design. The Ryzen 7000-series iGPU is primarily designed for basic display-out capabilities rather than gaming performance.
At present, the Ryzen 5 7500F is exclusive to the Chinese market, with no immediate plans for availability in the US and EU. However, similar previous releases like the Ryzen 5 3500X eventually reached the US market after several months. As the launch date approaches, more benchmarks and reviews of the Ryzen 5 7500F are expected to surface, providing further insights into its performance.
The AMD Ryzen 5 7500F is equipped with 6 cores and 12 threads, complemented by a 6MB L2 cache and 32MB L3 cache. The chip's performance data, as revealed by a GeekBench 6 leak, suggests that it surpasses the Ryzen 5 7600X in multi-threaded workloads. This edge could be attributed to superior scalability of its cores during maximum load operation. However, when assessed for single-thread performance, the Ryzen 5 7500F scores slightly lower than the Ryzen 5 7600X, registering 2,782 points against the latter's 2,811. The disparity can be viewed as negligible, indicating similar performance between the two processors in this particular measure.
