AMD Germany Confirms Ryzen 5 7500F's Western Release Strategy

[T0@st]

AMD is preparing its Ryzen 5 7500F processor for a global launch according to reports from earlier today—Team Red's German operation has since informed local media outlets about its updated international release strategy for the iGPU-less Zen 4 desktop SKU. Markus Lindner, a regional company spokesman stated: "This processor model will be available starting July 23, 2023 at 9PM ET. It will be available in greater China as a processor-in-box, and in the rest of world as an option for select system builders."

Chinese reviewers have been getting hands-on experience with the Ryzen 5 7500F, with early reports pointing to impressive performance for its price point ($180) when lined up against competing Intel Core i5-13400 and i5-13400F CPUs. International buyers could express concern regarding AMD Germany's mentioning that availability will be somewhat limited to system integrators. Hopefully these "select system builders" will have good distribution links to retail outlets—70% of TPU quick poll participants expressed interest in seeing a western launch (prior to AMD's "global" announcement).

I just worried that price in some European countries will be in conflict with consumer hopes.

It's so cheap for what it is. I don't see anyone complaining about its price.

When 7600/7600X starts here from ~250EUR, this should be a 200EUR CPU.

AKA "f**k you Western PC enthusiasts, buy our more expensive CPUs instead because we're as greedy as Intel".

Thanks, AMD.

Well, us Europeans didn't get 5600X3D so it's not always for all westerners :/

It's more than that. IMHO what AMD is doing is segmenting their market. In this way they can control price influxes and reduction of profits.

This all started with the AMD 5600XT. I know this to be fact because I bought my 5700 and 5700XT new @$280 and $300 respectively.

When the 5600XT came online, the prices of the 5700 and 5700XT went back to $350 and $380 in pricing and stayed that way for over a year.

After 4+ years a used XT goes around $180 dollars. Yea this is not good for diy community.

Zero interest, now a 7950/7900FX3D however ...

It's always confusing what Western means? West of Europe? US who still believe they live in the cold war? North Africa? Is Japan western or not given its Chinese dominant culture? How about India, and upside down countries like Australia and South Africa

Could be interesting if AMD releases all their CPUs in F edition for a 10/20€ less.

Us Canadians didn't get it either. It sucks that AMD decided to do a US-only launch because I would totally buy it but can't.

The F stands for "f**k you consumers".
