AMD has listed the Ryzen 7 8700F and Ryzen 5 8400F on its official website, confirming the official specifications for a pair of new CPUs that, while featuring Zen 4 cores, lacks two big features of the 8000 G-Series: namely, an iGPU and NPU. Pricing hasn’t been confirmed yet, but these chips will reportedly be available globally.

One reporter has noted:
…these new Zen 4 chips are built from recycled silicon that might have a defective graphics unit and/or NPU inside. This improves AMD’s production efficiency and reduces excess waste which would be the case if it threw out every single APU it made with a bad GPU/NPU.
