AMD Launches New Desktop CPUs Including Ryzen 5 and PRO Series

AMD has unveiled a range of new desktop CPUs, including the Ryzen 5 5600F for Socket AM4 and several Ryzen 9000F-series chips for Socket AM5. The F-series indicates processors without integrated graphics. Additionally, AMD expanded its Ryzen PRO lineup with new Zen 4-based models aimed at commercial use, featuring enhanced cores and threads. Key specifications include Ryzen 7 9700F with 8 cores and Ryzen 9 PRO 9945 with 12 cores, all maintaining a 65W TDP.

What are your thoughts on AMD’s strategy of introducing CPUs without integrated graphics, and how do you think this will affect the market compared to Intel’s offerings?

My Take:
AMD has released AM4 & AM5 Processors and they are for budget goers.

Jesus Christ AM4 refuses to die

very good move. Companies are quick to sunset hrdware these days. hopefully this causes other companies to keep the support for their hardware longer.

How much money can they be possibly saving by removing the graphics part? Feels like these are leftover dies since they’re being introduced so late in the product cycle.

Also, wouldn’t the 5600F be the same as 5600 non-x?

Which of these support ECC RAM? just a curiosity :grimacing:

Yes, the AMD Ryzen PRO Series processors supports ECC RAM, provided the motherboard also supports it. For ECC functionality to work, both the CPU and the motherboard must have the necessary support and be configured correctly.

Exactly. They aren’t removing anything.

They’re just sorting and pushing out leftover stuff with non working parts being locked off instead of having to recycle them.

This is binning , but for faulty dies.

It’s a slower 5600 and not a non iGPU 5600G

So a 5600F is a slower 5600 which is a slower 5600T which is a slower 5600X, which is a slower 5600XT, ha

Reminds me of a meme image I saw many time on reddit - Downgrades People, Downgrades.

All depends on how they price it. No ?

Still a 6C 12T processor for the masses isn’t a bad idea considering their only other option is to junk the die.

9700f could be decent, there’s too much of price gap between 9600x and 9700x
