AMD is taking a page out of Intel’s playbook with the Ryzen 5 7500F, a new Zen 4 processor that matches the Ryzen 5 7600X and Ryzen 5 7600 in terms of core count but drops the benefit of integrated graphics, according to a retail listing that has emerged out of South Korea and a PugetBench benchmark. This would mark AMD’s first AM5 desktop CPU to lack an iGPU, and while its price hasn’t been confirmed yet, it will, unsurprisingly, be a bit cheaper than the Ryzen 5 7600, which launched for $229 earlier this year.
According to the first information that is publicly available, the CPU has indeed 6 cores, and it should be around 100 MHz slower than Ryzen 5 7600, offering the same core count. The CPU has already made an appearance on PugetBench website running on an X670E motherboard and DDR5-4800 memory.
The CPU is reported to have a price that is approximately $10 lower than the Ryzen 5 7600, which was initially released at $229 and has now decreased to $219 as of the current time.
