AMD has officially introduced the Ryzen 7 9700F and Ryzen 5 9500F processors under the new Ryzen 9000F series. Earlier signs of a global launch appeared through retailer listings and price comparison tools, and AMD has now confirmed that two F-series SKUs are available worldwide.
Rumors of the Ryzen 9000F lineup began circulating in June, when motherboard partners issued BIOS updates mentioning upcoming Ryzen CPU support. Leaks revealed that the series would include an 8-core Ryzen 7 9700F and a 6-core Ryzen 5 9500F, with the 9500F first launching in China earlier this month.
The Ryzen 7 9700F features a 3.8 GHz base clock and a 5.5 GHz boost clock, making it nearly identical to the 9700X, as both are Granite Ridge CPUs. The key distinction is that the 9700F requires a discrete GPU because its RDNA2 integrated graphics are disabled. Both new processors are now listed on AMD’s official website, though pricing has not yet been disclosed. Availability details show that the Ryzen 5 9500F is intended for global markets, while the 9700F currently lists “NA,” which may indicate North America or unspecified availability.
