AMD Introduces Ryzen 5 7400F: A New 6-Core/12-Thread Zen 4 CPU with 4.7 GHz Boost Clock

AMD continues to expand its Ryzen 7000 lineup with the introduction of the Ryzen 5 7400F, which has recently been listed on the company’s official website.

Unveiling the AMD Ryzen 5 7400F: A Budget-Friendly Addition to the Zen 4 Series

The Ryzen 5 7400F is the latest addition to AMD’s Zen 4 processor family, indicating the company’s commitment to broadening its offerings just as it did with the previous Zen 3 series. Although AMD has not made a formal announcement, a dedicated product page for the Ryzen 5 7400F has appeared, suggesting its imminent launch. This processor appears to be a budget-friendly variant of the Ryzen 5 7500F, sharing most of its specifications with a few notable differences.

The Ryzen 5 7400F features a 6-core, 12-thread architecture, boasting a base clock speed of 3.7 GHz and a boost clock reaching 4.7 GHz. While the base clock is consistent with the 7500F model, the boost clock is 300 MHz lower, aligning with typical strategies employed by CPU manufacturers to differentiate their lower-end models. This chip targets budget-conscious consumers looking for solid performance without breaking the bank.

The pricing strategy for the Ryzen 5 series remains competitive. The Ryzen 5 7500F launched at approximately $179 and continues to retail around that same price point. The Ryzen 5 7400F is anticipated to be priced between $149 and $169. Although the reduction in boost clock speed may slightly impact performance in specific applications and games, the overall performance should closely mirror that of the 7500F due to the shared core/thread configuration, along with a 6 MB L2 cache, 32 MB L3 cache, and a consistent 65W thermal design power (TDP).

Notably, the Ryzen 5 7400F lacks integrated graphics, meaning users will need a separate GPU for display functionalities. This makes it particularly suitable for budget-friendly AM5 motherboards, such as the B650 or the newly introduced B840/B850 chipset. For users prioritizing cost efficiency, the B840 chipset may be a practical choice; however, it’s important to note that it does not support overclocking, while the 7400F does allow for this feature.

Currently, the product page for the Ryzen 5 7400F is accessible via the AMD Germany subdomain, with expectations for a broader release on the English version of the site soon, as it lists availability as “Global.”AMD plans to ship this processor with the Wraith Stealth CPU cooler, providing an additional cost-saving benefit for those building a new system.
