After announcing them in China, AMD quietly added the Ryzen 7 8700F and Ryzen 5 8400F to its website and confirmed that both chips will be making a worldwide debut. The new CPUs are a derivative of AMD's Zen 4-based Phoenix APUs lacking integrated graphics and a neural processing unit (NPU) for AI hardware acceleration. Pricing was not unveiled, but expect these two chips to be cheaper than their Ryzen 8000G-series counterparts.
AMD originally announced the two chips in China as part of a new strategy to bring Ryzen to "every price point" in the marketplace. However, it never shared official specifications of the new F-series SKUs. Now that both CPUs have been added to AMD's website, we have confirmed specifications of the two new budget-friendly Zen-4 alternatives.
