Last week, AMD’s Ryzen 5 7500F 6-core/12-thread CPU was revealed by the Puget Systems benchmark database. According to industry insiders, this is the first instance of a Ryzen 7000 SKU with a disabled iGPU. A South Korean merchant reported that units will cost between $170 and 180 dollars, with a potential July 7 local debut date. Retail units do not appear to be available (as of this writing), although Geekbench 6.1 scores have now been posted online. The Ryzen 5 7500F features a base frequency of 3.7 GHz, according to an entry in the Geekbench database that was discovered by Olrak29 earlier today. While all cores can only go as fast as 4.8 GHz, a single core can be boosted up to 5.0 GHz. According to the listing, this new SKU belongs to the AMD “Raphael” CPU family.

Microsoft Windows 11 was used to test the processor, and the evaluation build’s partial specifications include an ASUS TUF Gaming A620M-PLUS WIFI motherboard and 32 GB of DDR5-6000 RAM. The Ryzen 5 7500F CPU under evaluation received ratings of 2782 for single-core performance and 13323 for multi-threaded performance, putting it just slightly ahead of the Ryzen 5 7600X in this area. The Ryzen 5 7500F performs somewhat worse in the single-core test, but these results are nonetheless impressive given that it will likely be sold for less than its nearest iGPU-enabled siblings.
