AMD Quietly Launches Ryzen 5 7500 and Ryzen 5 5500F

Posted on
AMD has quietly introduced Ryzen 5 7500 for AM5 and Ryzen 5 5500F for AM4, bringing new budget and mainstream CPU options without much fanfare.

Quick Report

AMD has quietly launched the Ryzen 5 7500 and Ryzen 5 5500F, adding support for both the AM5 and AM4 ecosystems without a major promotional push. The Ryzen 5 7500 is a six-core, 12-thread Zen 4 chip with a 3.7 GHz base clock and up to 5.0 GHz boost, while the Ryzen 5 5500F brings a similarly budget-oriented six-core Zen 3 option to AM4.

The Ryzen 5 7500 keeps the same 65 W TDP and 38 MB cache as the 7500F, but adds an integrated RDNA 2 iGPU with two compute units. The Ryzen 5 5500F is not a simple rebrand of the original 5500, because it uses a different Vermeer-based silicon configuration and brings a slightly different cost/performance profile for buyers who still want to stay on AM4. Together, the pair shows AMD still trying to keep older and lower-cost platforms relevant.
