Overview
- AMD has quietly listed the Ryzen 5 7500 (Zen 4) and Ryzen 5 5500F (Zen 3) on its product pages, confirming official specs and positioning them as budget desktop parts.
- The Ryzen 5 7500 is a 6‑core/12‑thread AM5 processor with 3.7 GHz base, up to 5.0 GHz boost, 38 MB total cache, 65W TDP, unlocked overclocking, and RDNA 2 integrated graphics with two GPU cores.
- The Ryzen 5 5500F is a 6‑core/12‑thread AM4 Vermeer part with 3.0–4.4 GHz clocks, a 65W TDP and a reduced 16 MB L3 cache that lowers cost but can hurt cache‑sensitive workloads.
- U.S. retailers list MSRPs at $189 for the 7500 and $99 for the 5500F with immediate availability reported, while AMD has not published global pricing in the cited coverage.
- By adding an iGPU Zen 4 option and a lower‑binned Zen 3 AM4 chip, AMD expands both current and legacy platforms to give builders cheaper upgrade paths and to soften pressure from high component prices.
