COLGeek Seems like an okay choice for a basic "office-type" or web browser OEM PC, but I don't really see a great deal of appeal for the aftermarket. Reply

Future pricing will make it relevant or irrelevant. This could easily become a successor to the Ryzen 5 5500, which is the #2 best selling CPU on Amazon right now. But in the US that CPU sells for $85, not over $200, and DDR4 is obviously much cheaper. Reply

It would cost 230 Euros, or $267, which would put it above even the 7600X3D in terms of pricing, despite sharing identical specs with the 7500F. Best not to believe everything the rumourmongers claim and, wait and see what actually happens. Reply

Vicecrow this is the AMD way of milkin the consumer. Add a IGPU again and charge double for it. Reply

Nobody's getting milked. The ***unconfirmed*** price will be adjusted as needed by market (Europe, US, Asia-Pacific, etc.), or the product will be ignored. There's plenty of similar nonsense pricing over on the Intel side. For example, Core Ultra 5 235 for $266 on Amazon, $300 on Newegg, but the faster 250K Plus is $202-220. Reply
