AMD Ryzen 5 7500F Seems to be Chinese Market Exclusive, Reportedly Launching Late July

[T0@st]

The AMD Ryzen 5 7500F CPU has been popping up via various leaks—with no official announcements made despite photos, basic specifications and benchmark results appearing online. Tom's Hardware could not extract a comment directly from Team Red, so it pivoted to inside sources instead to find out more about the mysterious Zen 4 iGPU-less processor. The news site discovered that this model is very likely going to be a Chinese market exclusive—insiders reckon that it will be released closer to the end of this month. Retailers and e-tailers in the region are getting first dibs, with the Ryzen 5 7500F also made available to SIs (system integrators), so pre-built computers featuring this AM5 CPU could be released soon after.

Tom's Hardware believes that the: "Ryzen 5 7500F is very similar to the Ryzen 5 7600 and will operate with a 65 W TDP, and thus have slightly lower boost clock speeds than the 7600." It suspects that a recently published benchmark showing that single-core performance edges past the Ryzen 5 7600X (105 W TDP) is not all that accurate—these results should be "taken with a grain of salt." According to their verified sources, the Ryzen 5 7500F should "perform slightly slower than the regular 65 W Ryzen 5 7600 (non-X)." The article presents some hope that AMD is simply market testing the CPU prior to a possible USA rollout, but insiders indicate that company plans have the Ryzen 5 7500F marked for launch in China only.

USA-only 5600X3D, China-only 7500F. What's next? Guatemala-only 7900F? Or Zambia-only 5900X3D?

From China it will flow everywhere . Same as OEM parts. 5600X3D will be outside of USA available as a well. Other just needs to wait some time.

China is a rather large market lol

I know, but still... region-restricted products from a global company are a bit weird. But as long as it's the partially disabled ones, and not full chips, I can't complain.

5600X3D supply must be extremely limited, so I understand why it's only sold physically and by a single store. Being sold in China, luckily the rest of world will be able to buy 7500F like many OEM Ryzen CPUs.

I own a R5 2600, with modest MB and RAM, and previosly owned an i5 3470.
Is it me, or AMD setup even with amazing specs on the sheet, it feels that any Intel its more stable and snappy even if lower specs ?
I find AMD CPU's more prone to fps spikes and system overall unbalanced?
people with more experience can elaborate if notice the same ?
Wanted to upgrade my system, but not sure about AMD ... does this new series are fixed ?

I've had lots of AMD and Intel systems in the last few years, and they were all fine. I'd say you either game at extreme high framerates, so even small dips are noticeable, or what you see is just placebo.

I assume it's just if they have a limited stock of a part, splitting it across many markets would make the inventory available in each place tiny. Like here's 10 parts Australia, have fun! I'm sure there are fixed costs for these product rollouts (regional regulator approval, etc.) so just focusing on one market makes sense. Though I do find it odd that such large companies would even bother creating SKUs for parts with such limited quantities and not just selling it as a lower tier part but I guess a dollar is a dollar regardless of size.
