The new $99 CPU is noticeably faster than its smaller sibling from the Cezanne family in gaming workloads. First Ryzen 5 5500F Benchmarks Surface Online; Around 3-15% Faster Than Ryzen 5 5500 In Gaming Just two days ago, AMD revived its Ryzen 5000 family once again with a new addition. The new processor, called Ryzen 5 5500F, was launched in the Zen 3-based Ryzen 5000 family using the Vermeer silicon, bringing it closer to the Cezanne Ryzen 5 5500 chip. The new processor, however, brings a faster boost clock and PCIe Gen 4.0 support, unlike the Ryzen 5 5500, which […]

AMD has confirmed official pricing for two newly introduced mainstream desktop processors, setting the AM5-based Ryzen 5 7500 at $189 and the AM4-based Ryzen 5 5500F at $99.

Built on Zen 4 architecture, the Ryzen 5 7500 (via Wccftech) features six cores and 12 threads. Base clock speeds are set at 3.7GHz, boosting up to 5.0GHz, paired with 6MB of L2 cache, 32MB of L3 cache, and a 65W TDP. Unlike the existing 7500F model, this standard version includes two integrated RDNA graphics cores running at 2.2GHz to assist with system diagnostics. AMD's $189 price tag lands slightly above current street prices for the “F” SKU, though retail adjustments are expected over time.

For budget-focused AM4 system builders, the $99 Ryzen 5 5500F brings a fresh alternative to the existing lineup. Based on Vermeer silicon rather than the Cezanne APU architecture used in the standard 5500, the chip omits integrated graphics while pushing higher clock speeds. Specifications include six Zen 3 cores, 12 threads, a 3.0GHz base clock, a 4.4GHz boost clock, 3MB of L2 cache, 16MB of L3 cache, and a 65W TDP.

Both releases aim to provide accessible entry and upgrade options for builders balancing overall build costs, which, considering the rising hardware prices, will be very welcome.

KitGuru says: Planning to build a new entry-level AMD PC soon? Will you consider either of these two?

Last year, it was easier to get a decently powerful budget gaming PC for under $1000. Thanks to the DRAM shortages, this is no longer possible. The worsening DRAM availability directly affected PC components, such as GPUs, making it more difficult than ever to build a PC. Plus, higher NAND costs drove SSD prices as well, making the situation worse than ever. We have been tracking the RAM and SSD prices for months, and these are still rising. So, it's unlikely that prices will return to the pre-RAMpocalypse era very soon. With so much demand for DDR5 memory, many gamers […]
