According to a tweet from @harukaze5719, AMD is about to introduce a new CPU to replace the AM5 platform. AMD’s Ryzen 5 7500F Reportedly Launching This Week Is One Of Intel’s Books When It Comes To Naming As The ‘F’ Code Denotes A CPU With No (or Mostly Disabled) Integrated Graphics It looks like you are referring to the page. The 7500F, which is Ryzen 5, Expected to feature 6 working Zen 4 coresHowever, our sources expect the chip to clock in slightly slower than the Ryzen 5 7600 (around 100 Mhz slower) (which we reviewed here, by the way).
video card A Korean retailer claims to have announced that this CPU will launch this week, source tweet It has since been removed. This is a leak, so take this news with a grain of salt.
Due to the architectural changes AMD made to the Zen 4 architecture, the graphics subsystem is no longer attached to the CPU chiplet itself. Instead, Zen 4 moved the integrated GPU from the CPU tile to the I/O chiplet, minimizing wasted CPU die space within the Zen 4 wafer.
The product itself is interesting and seems to be built to deliver an attractive price/performance ratio for those planning on using a discrete GPU solution. Of course, the lack of an integrated GPU limits user flexibility. I can’t count the number of times I’ve used the integrated GPU to pinpoint system (and graphics card) problems. However, the fact remains that it is best for consumers to have more choice. The user can decide for himself if it’s worth the extra $10 he has.
Most of this information comes from: Harukaze (via Twitter), similarly Benchmark PugetBenchHere a Ryzen 5 7500F was paired with an X670E motherboard and 32 GB of DDR5-4800 memory.

- AMD Ryzen 5 7500F 6-core processor
- 32GB (2x16GB) 4800MHz
- NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 (31.0.15.3168)
- Microsoft Windows 11 Pro (22621)
The retail price of the Ryzen 5 7500F is expected to be around $10 less than the GPU-enabled (100 MHz faster) Ryzen 5 7600, which would normally drop its retail price from $229 to $219.
