AMD reportedly preparing standard Ryzen 5 7500 desktop processor

It looks like AMD hasn't shelved the Ryzen 7000 series just yet. A new report suggests AMD is preparing to launch a standard Ryzen 5 7500 processor for the AM5 socket. The Zen 4 CPU will supposedly sit between the existing Ryzen 5 7500F and 7500X3D, bringing a 65W TDP, integrated graphics, and a bundled boxed cooler.

The leaked specifications shared by Roland Quandt (via VideoCardz) point to a 6‑core, 12‑thread CPU running at a 3.7GHz base clock with up to a 5.0GHz boost. Total cache measures 38MB, combining 32MB of L3 with 6MB of L2. These specifications closely mirror the 7500F, matching its peak clock speed, while the 7500X3D continues to run lower boost clocks due to 3D V‑Cache constraints.

The same report suggests a price of around €230. That would place the standard 7500 well above the tray‑only 7500F, which currently sells for £150/€120/$130, and close to the 7500X3D. The higher price is likely tied to two expected changes, integrated Radeon graphics and the inclusion of a retail boxed cooler instead of OEM‑only packaging.

AMD has not yet officially confirmed the chip or provided a release window.

KitGuru says: A standard Ryzen 5 7500 gives builders a proper boxed entry-level AM5 chip with integrated graphics, though its success will depend heavily on where retail pricing settles.
