AMD has not too long ago expanded its Ryzen 8000 collection by introducing the Ryzen 7 8700F and Ryzen 5 8400F processors. Initially launched in China, these chips have been added to AMD’s world web site, signaling they’re obtainable worldwide, apparently from April 1st. Built from the current Zen 4-based Phoenix APUs utilizing the TSMC 4nm node as their Zen Four cellular chips, these new CPUs lack built-in graphics. However, the Ryzen 7 8700F does embrace the built-in Ryzen AI NPU for added capabilities in a world at the moment dominated by AI and transferring it instantly into the PC.
The firm’s choice to announce these chips in China aligns with its technique to supply Ryzen options at each worth level out there. Although AMD did not initially disclose the total specs of those F-series fashions, and we did attain out to the corporate to ask about them, they refused to debate them with us. Their itemizing on the web site has now been up to date with an entire record of specs and options, with every little thing however the worth talked about.

The Ryzen 7 8700F options an 8C/16T design, with 16MB of L3 cache and the identical 65W TDP because the Ryzen 7 8700G. Although the bottom clock pace is 4.1 GHz, it boosts to five.zero GHz; this is 100 MHz much less on each base/enhance clocks than the 8700G. Meanwhile, the Ryzen 5 8400F is a barely scaled-down model of the Ryzen 8600G APU, with 6C/12, 16MB of L3 cache, and once more has a 100 MHz discount to base clocks in comparison with the 8600G. Unlike the Ryzen 5 8400F, the Ryzen 7 8700F retains AMD’s Ryzen AI NPU, including further functionality for generative AI.
The Ryzen 5 8400F can enhance as much as 4.7 GHz, 300 MHz slower than the Ryzen 5 8600G. AMD additionally permits overclocking for these new F-series chips, which suggests customers might probably enhance the efficiency of those processors to match their G-series equivalents.
Pricing particulars are nonetheless pending, however to stay aggressive, AMD will seemingly want to cost these CPUs beneath the 8700G and 8600G, in addition to the Ryzen 7 7700 and Ryzen 5 7600. These CPUs supply, albeit very restricted, built-in graphics and have double the L3 cache capability, together with larger enhance clocks than the 8000F collection chips, so pricing is one thing to think about every time pricing turns into obtainable.
