AMD has launched two new processors under its Ryzen 8000 F-Series: the Ryzen 7 8700F and Ryzen 5 8400F. Both chips utilize AMD's Zen 4 architecture but lack integrated RDNA 3 graphics, meaning users will need a discrete graphics card for visual processing.
The Ryzen 7 8700F features 8 cores and 16 threads, with a base clock of 4.1GHz and a maximum turbo frequency of 5.0GHz. It includes 24MB of L3 cache and operates at a 65W thermal design power, coming with an AMD Wraith Stealth Cooler. In contrast, the Ryzen 5 8400F has 6 cores and 12 threads, a base clock of 4.2GHz, a maximum turbo of 4.7GHz, and 22MB of L3 cache, also rated at 65W and bundled with the same cooler. Notably, the Ryzen 5 model incorporates an Ryzen AI NPU, which AMD states can deliver 16 TOPS of AI performance when used with Radeon 7000 Series graphics cards, a feature absent in the Ryzen 7.
In performance comparisons, AMD claims the Ryzen 7 8700F provides a 12 to 24 percent improvement in gaming performance and a 10 to 22 percent boost in application performance over the Intel i5 1400F. Meanwhile, the Ryzen 5 8400F offers up to a 14 percent increase in gaming performance compared to the previous-generation Intel i5 13400F.
The official prices in Nepal are NPR 40,000 for the Ryzen 7 8700F and NPR 20,000 for the Ryzen 5 8400F. Both processors are now available through various retail outlets across the country.
