Gross sales of Ryzen 7 8700F and Ryzen 5 8400F Hawk Level processors started at the moment. Not like beforehand launched Ryzen 8000G fashions, which supply as much as 16 purposeful models of built-in RDNA 3 graphics, the F-series chips are disabled “on board”. Maybe, the brand new merchandise had been based mostly on crystals that weren’t appropriate for the Ryzen 8000G as a consequence of defects within the iGPU.
Picture supply: AMD
The older mannequin Ryzen 7 8700F presents eight Zen 4 cores with help for 16 digital threads. The processor has a base frequency of 4.1 GHz and mechanically overclocks to five.0 GHz, which is 100 MHz decrease than the Ryzen 7 8700G. On the identical time, the brand new product acquired the identical quantity of L2 and L3 cache reminiscence because the common Ryzen 7 8700G – 8 and 16 MB, respectively. Regardless of earlier leaks, the Ryzen 7 8700F retains the Ryzen AI engine (NPU) on the XDNA structure with a efficiency of 16 TOPS (trillion operations per second), which accelerates the efficiency of AI algorithms.
On the identical time, the Ryzen 5 8400F is a six-core processor with help for 12 digital threads, working within the frequency vary from 4.2 to 4.7 GHz. This chip makes use of two full-size Zen 4 cores and 4 small Zen 4c cores. Just like the Ryzen 5 8600G, it has a 6 MB L2 cache and a 16 MB L3 cache. This processor won’t solely have the ability to supply built-in graphics, but additionally an NPU.
For each chips the TDP is reported at 65 W. Each processors will get a proprietary Wraith Stealth cooler. AMD has priced the Ryzen 7 8700F at $269.99, and the younger Ryzen 5 8400F at $169.99.
