The Hidden Ryzen | AMD Ryzen 5 7500F

Testing the AMD Ryzen 5 7500F 6-core 12-thread CPU in 10 popular and demanding games in 2024, using an RX 6900 XT discrete GPU.

The Ryzen 7000 series started out in life by focusing on the high end of the market, with AMD seemingly content for their budget-conscious customers to stick with the ageing AM4 platform instead. The Ryzen 5 7600 and 7600X represent great performance, but at prices that are still slightly off putting. What they needed to kickstart the popularity of the new platform was a cheaper, no-frills performance option; something like the Ryzen 5 7500F, a (slightly) cut-down 7600 for just £150 ($179).

Now, if only they’d make it easier to get…

#AMD #Ryzen 5 #CPU

[IcebergTech]

NOTES:
I set the CPU’s TDP to 105w to prevent PL throttling during Cinebench, Resolve and Blender. I maxed out the curve optimizer clock speed offset, which is +200 for a max clock speed of 5250, and set the voltage offset to -30. The total system power draw during Cinebench was 185-187w from the wall.
12:39 I might have been a bit ambiguous in my conclusion, focusing on negatives over positives. In fact, the 7500F is an excellent buy and well worth the money. I don’t mean to knock AliExpress, I personally don’t recall ever having had a bad experience with them, but this would be an easier recommendation if only AMD would release the 7500F to retail in the West as well.
While the new AMD iGPUs are (supposedly) able to decode video in apps like Resolve and Premiere, they probably won’t have the full range of codec support that Quick Sync has. As you can see from the Puget chart, AMD’s DGPUs don’t support many codecs, so there’s no reason to expect any more of their iGPUs.

You are my favorite benchmarker iceberg, your humor is always on point!

Starfield not even hitting 100fps on 1080p medium with such a machine is ridiculous. Especially considering the graphics of that game.

[eliasroflchopper]

You probably don't remember, but a few months ago, I told you in the comments that, if you keep this quality up, your channel will definitely blow up. And look where you are at now!
It just makes me so happy you made it as far as you did. You deserve all the success man :)

[RinkyRoo]

I picked up a 7600X as part of a new pc build over a year ago now and now it's most definitely my 3070 that's the weak point. This CPU if similar should serve you well for GPU testing for the foreseeable!

Great video as always!

[CryptoJordanVR]

Now that you have a DDR5 board, I would love to see you test out the Vega card again with HBCC enabled as well as other cards with low VRAM buffers to see if the faster shared memory makes a significant difference.

[khin]

your videos a hidden gem bro! engaging editing and cinematography are top notch for such a small channel, really looking forward to seeing your channel grow

[ChengsHardware]

Here in China, it's a popular choice, a bit like R5 3500X back in the day

[toastyyybeats]

that split second of silence at the start of your videos always makes me think that my headphones have disconnected

[Snoopmasta]

One of my favorite voices to listen to right now. Thanks for the work you put in there!

[randomperson]

Your benchmarks background music is 🔥🔥🔥 weird request: never change it. It won’t be an iceberg tech vid for me. As always you deliver 🔥

[demigod]

This cpu is pretty amazing. My friend in Germany was able to buy it at mind factory. Would love to see the 2070 super reviewed as the best etc card for value from its generation.

[FalseOracle]

Brilliant channel. I've been spreading the gospel of the 6000 series GPUs since I found your channel and managed to snag a 6700xt early last year. A real breath of fresh air.

[zarko]

The 7500F is also being sold in Bulgaria. I got the 7600 and it is a great gaming chip.

[youraveragejoephoto]

Iceberg Tech reviewing current gen hardware??? We’re moving up in the world lads.

(I know the 6900xt was technically current gen when reviewed but there’s no technicalties on this one 😉)

[kharmic]

I just bought mine and so far it's been a monster cpu utilization does not even go above 50% even when Im playing triple A games

[euphoria]

Yeah, the 7500F is good value here in Australia - 228$aud on Ali vs 299$aud for the 7600/x locally.

[IchBinEineBlödeKatze]

Iceberg, I can’t fathom someone like you searching for cpu that weren’t made for the public market and only available in prebuilts and then finding them working AND THEN BUYING AND REVIEWING THEM even though no one had any idea it existed for the most part

[kng_fx]

ice berg ive been waiting for this for what feels like forever thank you!

[yarost]

It's insane how Cyberpunk 2077 runs 30 fps faster than Starfield
