AMD Ryzen 5 7500 CPU with integrated
A new budget Zen 4 processor, the AMD Ryzen 5 7500, is reportedly in the works. The chip is expected to feature six cores, a 5.0 GHz boost clock, and integrated graphics for around 230 Euros.
AMD is reportedly preparing to launch a new budget processor, the Ryzen 5 7500, as part of its Zen 4 lineup. The information comes from user Roland Quandt.
The new CPU is expected to be a variant of the existing Ryzen 5 7500F, but with a key addition. Unlike the 'F'-series model, the standard Ryzen 5 7500 is anticipated to include integrated graphics. This would provide a more flexible option for budget PC builders who do not wish to purchase a discrete graphics card immediately.
Expected specifications
The core specifications of the Ryzen 5 7500 will mirror those of the 7500F. The chip is said to maintain a 6-core, 12-thread design. Its base clock speed is listed at 3.7 GHz, with a maximum boost clock reaching up to 5.0 GHz. Total cache is reported at 38 MB, and the processor will operate with a 65-watt thermal design power (TDP).
| Specification | Ryzen 5 7500 (Expected) |
|---|---|
| Cores / Threads | 6 / 12 |
| Base Clock | 3.7 GHz |
| Boost Clock | Up to 5.0 GHz |
| Total Cache | 38 MB (6 MB L2 + 32 MB L3) |
| TDP | 65 W |
The integrated graphics question
The source report does not explicitly confirm the inclusion of an integrated GPU, noting the post from Roland Quandt "doesn't confirm whether the Ryzen 5 7500 will have an iGPU." However, it is considered unusual for a non-'F' series AMD Ryzen chip to lack graphics. Wccftech speculates that if present, the integrated graphics would likely be based on AMD's RDNA 2 architecture. It could feature two compute units, similar to the iGPU found in the higher-tier Ryzen 5 7600 processor.
Pricing and availability
Roland Quandt also claims to know the planned price for the new chip. The Ryzen 5 7500 is expected to launch at a price of 230 Euros, which the source approximates to 267 US dollars. No specific launch timeline was disclosed. The report expresses hope that the CPU will see a broad, multi-region release at launch, providing more options for cost-conscious system builders. AMD's strategy of extending older processor lineups with new models is noted, with a current focus on the modern AM5 platform. The company has previously used this approach to maintain the longevity of the older AM4 socket.
