@blue-lu3iz I just wanted to ask, little bit OT... I have ASUS Prime B650 Plus MB,.. paired with fairly high end components (4090, 7700X).. am I limiting my performance by using B650?
6:05 I Love, LOVE this new addition to your reviews!! Since a lot of modern games are CPU bound, it's very helpful to know just how much GPU you need before you're at the point of diminishing returns.

@@masterluckyluke Everything is expensive? Lol iam buying hardware from Mindfactory for a 3 years because they have best prices in europe from my research, mindstar deals etc. And i am Czech.
Yeah, you know why budget cpus arent overklockeable? Because they are meant to be paired with equivalent cheapest components to get the job done. Also, CAN doesn't mean WILL.
@@Happiness-lp9fw you talking like someone that doesn't tune their system. Give me any CPU with a mid-range board and I can get great performance out of it especially if its not locked.
One nitpick: at 12:36 the "Performance per Watt" title is inconsistent to what is then measured in the test, which is (I'd assume) W/fps. At first glance you expect "performance" to be better when higher, but the graphs and the subtitle tell the opposite. Maybe the title could be different, or the measurement should be changed to fps/W instead of the current W/fps.
Not really nitpick because the title of the graph is exactly the opposite of the results. If somebody just quickly hears out the conclusion and not really checking the graph or checking only the graph with the title, both can lead to misinformation. When Steve said the conclusion for that section I immediately raised my eyebrow. Especially because the subtitle says: [Measured in Watts] so it can't be 'per Watt'. Of course it happens and I'm not surprised that after this many benchmarking and data collection there is an error but it is still an error.
@@zoty314Yeah, that took me a second to recover from since it looked like Intel consistently scored higher "performance per watt" from the bar graphs until I read the text under the charts title 😅
Speed alone is not enough, Steve here is using a motherboard with tuned subtimings out of the box for the Ryzen, so it's not exactly a fair comparison, but it is what it is I guess.
@@spaghettilocomotive How do you know this? In fact the intel platform is using the higher clocked memory with EXPO/XMP. Seems like you are throwing some shade there, I would love to see you back it up with evidence.
@@spaghettilocomotive WTF??? The only thing "not fair" about this video would be the fact that he's using 7200 ram vs 6000 ram. But, that's okay to me because Intel can sometimes get to 7200 and they offer 7200 and they need that extra lift. Imagine how bad Intel would look if Steve did 6000 compared to 6000. Stop being a fanboy and start being a fan of the best performer regardless of company.
Think that it's really a 12th gen part, it's a locked and downclocked 12600K die, so it's not featuring the architecture improvements brought with Raptor Lake. It was likely for it to lose. I think the locked 13600 is Raptor Lake so that one might perform better, but I dont know it's price
It's currently the lowest binned am5 part, I'd avoid it. Edit : I'm of course not saying the 13400F is worth considering, rather I would aim for the regular 7600
Locally it's only like 15 bucks short of the 7600 which seems utterly pointless but I'm in Australia, where Intel seems to dominate with pricing. I could see the US getting some really favourable deals on this but you'd wanna be saving $50 or more, I reckon.
@@dogdie147 I recall both but it's not the clock speed that matters here, the 13400F is a rebranded old gen product, it's at best halfway between the Ryzen 5 5600X and Ryzen 5 7600X.
The 7500F looks like a pretty good place holder CPU with decent upgrade paths. I assume the AM5 has two more generations left to go. If the GPUs continue to be the way they are, you may not need any upgrades at all, who knows?
Exactly. It will pair well with a mid-range GPU and you got the option to do a "drop in" upgrade later on when you upgrade the gpu. A 5800X3D/5600X3D type of upgrade right at the end of the platforms lifecycle will make it a sound long term investment.
He can play with it for the next few years and have good performance with it, which is worth something. Should he play with shitty performance until the end of AM5? then you would say wait for AM6, but not the cheap ones at the start of AM6 lol. He can sell the CPU in 2 years too, so the loss is small. Also CPUs get cheaper, he could buy a 8800X3D for perhaps 300 bucks (or a cheper 8700 CPU) when the 9800X3D is released and until then have enough CPU power with the 7500F or 7600 (x)@@igelbofh
Fascinating-that point about the CPU even limiting the GPU at 4k shows how high end GPUs effectively require the best CPUs to ensure no performance loss.
7500F is $209 Canadian, while the 7600 is $299, price is before taxes on both, and 7500F has to be bought from Aliexpress. I guess if you are penny crunching on your build and you are patient, the 7500F is a good buy.
The 7500F is a great little chip. It should be interesting how low it is actually priced here in Europe. The ACC results have been omitted from the charts, can we get them back please? As a sim racer, your service to the sim racing community is of particular help. Thanks!
AM5 already has budget performance options for AM5 boards. A620M-HDV/M2+ and B650M-HDV/M2, now A620 board does not support 170W cpu's but does support anything up to 120W. B650 board supports anything you throw at it. Also DDR5 6000 CL36 ram is at cheapest already at 32GB under 70$ and those two mainboards are at 96$ (A620) and 125$ (B650). And if those boards are not at good enough performance then there is MSI B650M-A WiFI at 139$, AsRock B650M PG Riptide at 169$ and if even those are not enough then Gigabyte B650M Aorus Elite at 183$ should be good enough for anything you throw at it.
There already are budget options for AM5 on the B650 chipset. DDR5 prices have also been dropping. You can get a decent set of DDR5 for well under US$100.
DDR5 is barely any more expensive than DDR4 at this point. Prices have collapsed in the past six months. B650 and X670 boards are still way too expensive though, especially if you want something with PCIe 5.0 support to set yourself up for the entire AM5 generation.
I'm running one right now ( from a system builder in Australia) and it's great. 5.25ghz overclock and -30 curve and runs great. .not reaching 70c with a phantom spirit aircooler
The 7500f would make for a perfect super budget chip for am5 once zen 5 starts to show up. Seeing this thing sub $120 would make it a perfect buy along with the 2 dimm asrock b650 board and a cheap kit of a-die. You'd have good performance up front along with an upgrade path to zen 6 as it comes along in a few years.
Didn't even know they were releasing 7500F. I wonder whether they release some super entry level CPU as well. Though arguably you could say their AM4 stuff covers that. But we will need some Athlon on AM5 sooner or later. It might be possible soon, since prices of DDR5 and AM5 mobos are going down. Or maybe there already is such product and I'm not aware? There weren't many reviews of Athlons or Pentiums (that were often sub 50$ parts). Of course you mostly cater to enthusiasts, but once or twice a year it might be good idea to cover such stuff. Cheers!
What a healthy, interesting battle! In recent years I've gotten rich enough to consider high-end products, but even now, it's still more interesting to me to watch the mid-range competition game playing out. Now if only the graphics market came back to something like this ...
The 7500F is a real performer if you're looking to get into the 7000 series from AMD, this is the perfect solution before you go paying over $700 plus for their high-end CPU's. I am surprised how much ahead the 7500F is ahead of the Intel 13400F well done to AMD.
In general, I'm in favor of measuring overall system power consumption but as many have already pointed out it just doesn't make sense in this comparison. The less tech-savvy viewers might not have understood the references to other GPU's potential throughput, and thus the "quick and dirty" look at the numbers would see both contestants roughly equal, when in fact the AMD part is already superior out of the box and allows for further tuning by more advanced users, whereas the Intel part is nowhere near its contender when it comes to either power consumption as a raw figure or performance per watt.
I bought one for 152 USD on Ebay weeks ago. Oc'd it to 5.2 all core under a Thermalright Assassin SE for 41 Canadian and called it a day. 5.2Ghz 247365.
Im still debating either the 7500f, the 7600 or the 7600x (the 2 latter ones are the same price afaik), i planned to pair them with the asrock b650m pro rs, but im afraid with the 7500f i need to flash the bios for it to even boot, kinda afraid of that, atleast with the 7600's it can boot, but the difference is 40 dollars so dunno what to do really.
CPUs are in pretty good spot in all segments, wish I could say the same about GPUs, where there's nothing playable under $600 if you account for UE5 games.
@@overgaard1337yes, UE5 requires a midrange card. That’s a problem today because midrange means something completely different (the $600 in question isn’t “high end” anymore). Back in the day, a new engine accompanying a new console generation would be more demanding, but definitely at least playable on $200 midrange graphics hardware in a console-priced budget build. Today, PC price-performance is still drastically behind the new consoles 3 years after they launched. AMD and nVidia have played the market. nVidia don’t really care if less people buy the cards because they’re transitioning further into CAD and AI. AMD don’t really care if less people buy the cards because their hardware is in the console that you’d buy instead. So when the opportunity came to sell graphics cards with 5x the margin that they used to, nVidia jumped on it, and AMD thought it was more lucrative to join them than to operate in the budget sector with no competition. The 6700XT therefore is AMD’s only competent affordable offering (nVidia have absolutely none), and it sells for around 320. And you’re not even getting a proper midrange sweet-spot card for that money. It happens to be roughly equivalent to the PS5’s GPU, although of course you’d lack optimisation, and there’s no way you’re building a machine around it for the price of a PS5. Back when the PS4 launched you’d get a GTX 770 for that money and that would run any game comfortably for years. You’re right in that it’s totally reasonable for UE5 to require a midrange card. But the midrange is beyond people’s reach. The PC platform has never had this problem before, where the majority of players flat out can’t launch new games. It’s gonna be interesting.
@@ChrisStoneinator Nvidia manufacturing node is much more expensive. I am an AMD user since forever, zero complains. But AMD are currently in a position where they got almost no throwaways, basically way cheaper manufacturing node. If Nvidia are greedy, AMD are way greedier for these asking prices especially in the mid-below mid range, matching the competition prices (when it comes to gpus :/) A time will come where that leftover RDNA2 supply will dry out, today is a good day for buying a 1440p entry level product, compared to what we had 1-2 years ago
Appreciate all the work you do bringing reviews like this for everyone, from the extreme budget gamer to the guy whose Dad is writing the check :) Doesn't matter if it's MB's CPU's or graphics from what I've seen Hardware Unboxed covers the entire consumer spectrum, thanks a bunch for that it's awesome more than you know.
I would love to see a 7500f vs 7600 comparison at stock and pbo. That would really show if performance between these 2 identical chips is actually the same
A direct comparrison between those two would've made more sense. The i5 is on an end of life platform. If you're building from scratch it would mean you are spending money on a PC with no real upgrade path. Other than higher end CPU of the same gen. The 7000s mobos would allow for a CPU upgrade 2 gens down the line while keeping the same. And the 7500 over the 7600 you can instead put 20-30 more on a mobo. That in the case of current prices, it does make a difference on features and VRM. $130 to 150 or 150 to 170-180. That would make sure not only that the 1 or 2 gens down the line still work. But that a higher end version would work well. Like a R7 9800 or something like that. If your are gonna nickle and dime to the point an intel 13XXX is an option. Then why go AM5 and not AM4?

Crazy that 1 graphical setting makes a 1,600$ GPU the limiting factor when paired with a ~180$ budget CPU. Ray-tracing definitely still needs a lot of time before it's actually worth using.
WOW! STELLAR FORMAT! Dropping in these "GPU realty checks" here and there is EPIC! Obviously I still prefer the mammoth "CPU to GPU scaling" videos, but I also perfectly understand that making those is like having done a root canal without anaesthetic. But just dropping "This is where a XYZ GPU taps out" gets the point across SO well! Thanks Steve!
Not bad. It's ~200 euro in the EU, seemingly available at the moment. Worth considering for a budget build. The 12600KF is the same money, but on a dead platform, very high power consumption and needing an expensive mobo for overclocking.
That is true, but what's even better value is a Ryzen 5600 on a B550 board. Performance is the same as 12400f but the platform is more feature-rich than a B660 eg. Currently 5600 and a cheap good B550 board are ~10% cheaper than a 12400f+a cheap good B660.
I think looking at power use with overall system consumption rather than just CPU power consumption makes the results too "contaminated" by GPU behaviour, if there are big differences in frame rate this causes the GPU to work harder and consume more energy for the best performing part regardless of it's own power use, and in the more limited scenarios the GPU can also downclock and reduce it's voltage when underutilized making it more efficient at the same time. I think it was better when the reviews compared the power use of just the reviewed component (CPU or GPU) rather than overall system power. I understand the whole metric is important specially to give an indication on what sort of power supply requirement would be needed, but the individual component power consumption should also be featured in the chart or as a separate graph I think, and make the conclusions based on that.
The 13400F is $200 right now in the US and that doesn't count any Micro Center in-store magic. Until we know the price, the value of the 7500F is unknown. If it's the same price or lower AND actually gets stock outside China, it's interesting. If it's like $210 or $220 USD, kind of just another step on the ladder and not exciting at all.
i wish u added some productivity benchmark. id like to see 7z decompression as thats whats 99% people use. id also like to see a power efficiency comparison and benefits of undervolting
This is definitely something I'd like to look into so I can upgrade my R5 2600, which is still going strong, but showing its age, even if I'm not doing AAA gaming at all
consider a 5800x3D I have benchmarks on my YT channel as well of some indie games. It's a beast and I'm generally GPU limited even at 1080p in most games. This thing will last me at-least another 4 years, maybe even more.
even a 2nd hand $100 5600 would be an huge upgrade to your CPU. but i also recommend 5800x3d due to how fast it is while being in am4 platform. unless you want longevity, then i can understand why you opt for AM5.
Maybe you should add the current fastest gaming cpu as a reference, just so we could see what we are potentially missing out on? Unless it's to distracting and extra work?
The 7500F really seems like the best option in a vast majority of cases and if I was to buy or recommend to any friends or family it's really hard to argue against. I have read about a problem with recent Intel CPUs that they have moved some scheduling hardware off package. I don't know what CPUs are affected by this and haven't had the chance to see it for myself. From the information I've seen it appears to add latency when it comes to comes to simpler tasks such as launching and interacting with 'easier' workloads such as launching a web browser or performing tasks within a program that isn't necessarily classically resource intensive. Having these kinds of scheduling means the CPU needs to be assigned their short, sort of unexpected work, off package and the physical distance is just a lot longer. Have you noticed this at HWU at all? It seems when the cpu is prepared with a more complex instruction it's not an issue. It can prepare the workload of a benchmark without any problems and so the result isn't affected in graphs like these. Do you notice anything outside of the benchmarking? Like switching between or loading tabs in internet browsers, loading parts of the control panel for example? This is something Intel were very good at with Sandy Bridge as an example, the snappyness of day-to-day operations. And how good is AMD in comparison? This would be something that I as a consumer would like more information about. Good test scores is absolutely the #1 metric but snappiness in everyday use might be a hard to test part of performance numbers but it still interests me a great deal. Thank you for your diligent work, I was just wondering if it's possible to construct some sort of test to see how, in a lack of a better word, well it performs with in the experience of how quickly it responds in regular use. (i wish I could make my point with less text but it's a complicated and very much something subjective)
This is huge. I sometimes skip straight to the graphs and this time I was confused about the results. I thought to myself “Wasn’t intel supposed to be good or at least on par with amd?” Then I remembered intel allows for ddr4 ram sticks so maybe that’s why. Rewinded back to test configuration and shocked by the fact that both are tested with ddr5 sticks. Wow.
The problem with the 13400(F) is that it's not really 13th gen; it uses Alder Lake and is more or less a downclocked 12600K. Because of that it misses out on Raptor Lake's improved L2 and L3 cache, which makes a big difference in gaming performance. And the 13500 is a weird hybrid that has Raptor Lake L3 but Alder Lake L2. If you want an intel CPU that can really challenge Zen 4 in gaming workloads, you need a 13600K or more.
I was momentarily in awe when I saw the Baldur's Gate 3 benchmark, because I realized it was the first time that a game I am interested in was included in the benchmarks ;D I love Bethesda and FromSoftware games and those are never included given they have been FPS limited ..
Muy bueno y sorprendente la potencia del AMD.. me gustó mucho. Me gustaría ver una comparativa de rendimiento de ryzen 5 7500f vs ryzen 5 7600.. para ver qué tanto es la diferencia de obligar a trabajar más al GPU
The difference is going to be minuscule. The 7500f is a 7600 without integrated graphics and slightly lower clock speeds, 100mhz as stated in the video.
se ve bueno pero realmente esperaba que los rumores de que costara 160$ fuera cierto porque a 180 y con el 7600 bajando ahsta 200 en oferta como que no es muy buen incentivo para ir por el.
When the 4090 was announced, people were afraid even high end CPUs might bottleneck it. But these days we have budget CPUs that can extract the full potential of a 4090 at UHD
thats stupid, its a known fact it simply depends on the game. most games are SEVERELY gpu heavy, but something turn based tends to be more cpu heavy. also anything with a dense city, in the city will always hit the cpu harder.
I didn't remember off-hand how the 7600 compared to Raptor Lake (or in this case should we call it Alder Lake Refresh??)... so I'd expected to see the 13400F come out on top. Pretty interesting overall. I'd have loved to have CPU-only power consumption, mostly "for science" to remove the added system power draw of the GPU driving higher FPS, but I understand that this is a lot of work and requires special tooling. Even as-is, super happy that you're covering this CPU and really like how you test.
DON'T BUY INTEL! I'm stating this as a user of the 13900K. I've felt deceived. The performance of the E-cores is on par with my aging i7 3770k. It feels like a blend of modern cores with outdated ones from a decade ago. I cannot endorse this choice. Opt for AMD for the time being until Intel shifts to manufacturing CPUs with TSMC and discontinues the E-cores, which have been controversial.
That just runs contrary to how we've seen the processor behave in apps and games. The cores might run at the same clock speed as your old i7 but IPC has increased every gen.
@@nimrodery The P-cores are undeniably fast. However, I must point out that the E-cores appear to lack practical utility, and the inclusion of 16 of them seems excessive. How am I expected to utilize them effectively? Are they intended for running virtual machines with subpar CPU performance from a decade ago? It would have been more sensible to invest in a budget Ivy Bridge server CPU, which currently costs less than 50 dollars.
@@ahmedmahrotos2335 You might get more cores but they'd be slower at the same clock speed (and server parts are often clocked at half the speed of your E-cores). Maybe you just need a bigger cooler, a higher TDP would allow more headroom and you should be experiencing a damn good CPU. Either that or you got a dud that you should RMA. I'm sitting on an older i7 and it's not that great. The price to performance ratio is probably not bad on older server gear but you'll lose performance in basically every application. edit: changed "P-cores" to "E-cores," i always mix those up
If we assume that 4 e cores are equal to 1 p core in sillicon, 13900K would be an amazing 12-core CPU, if intel didn't go with these gimped e-cores. Their purpose is to inflate core counts and pump the cinebench score. And 13600K would be a 8-core monster.
Just got the 7500f, its a beast for its price. The 13400f is 60$ more expensive where i live and performs less, so it was a no brainer for me, and ofcourse the am5 pltaform just adds to obvious choice Thanks for the amazing review!
I'm confused, what's going on in the graph at 12:42? I'll guess a ratio of cpu power draw to fps (so measured in watt-seconds per frame, if i did the units right)? Nice work, crew and company!
How much is that after factoring avg inflation? May still not be great, prices suck on everything lately, but it's probably a smaller gap than at initial glance.
How was your "Performance Per Watt" graph created? Normally such a graph would be FPS per Watt, but your graph says "Lower is Better" which would tend to suggest that you intended to create some backwards "Watt Per Performance" graph showing Watt per FPS?
What unit is performance per Watt actually measured in? Because it seems like, that it should be frames/Watt, if you measure performance in FPS. But as the chart is measured in Watts and lower is better, aren't you really measuring Watt per performance? And even then, the chart should show the unit as Watt/frame
When it comes to power usage, I'd be interested in seeing how much the CPUs consume power at idle. That information would make quite a big difference when it comes to choosing a CPU for a home server running 24/7, mostly at idle. Based on user self-reports I've come across online, Intel CPUs seem to consume a lot less power at idle than AMD CPUs. Additionally, Intel CPUs have Quick Sync, which is great for transcoding video, so you can efficiently stream video content from your server. So, if you have old systems lying in the corner and you're thinking of building an efficient home server with light expected CPU loads, it would seem to behoove you to build an Intel system. (In case you're curious about my power consumption, I run a home server with an I5-7500 without a discrete GPU + 3 HDDs and 2 NVMe drives for cache, and the whole system draws around 28 W from the wall at idle. For comparison, AMD systems seem to consume at least 50 or so watts.)
This has been observed to be caused by the io die chiplet which was made on older node and less efficient that the cores chiplet themself. Mobile based AMD cpu however is another matter as they usually consist of one monolithic die and lacked io die, thus uses less power at idle. If you are building cpu from gound up and idle is your primary concern, do look for mobile based amd cpu like the minisforum mini box for example.

Not really nitpick because the title of the graph is exactly the opposite of the results. If somebody just quickly hears out the conclusion and not really checking the graph or checking only the graph with the title, both can lead to misinformation. When Steve said the conclusion for that section I immediately raised my eyebrow. Especially because the subtitle says: [Measured in Watts] so it can't be 'per Watt'. Of course it happens and I'm not surprised that after this many benchmarking and data collection there is an error but it is still an error.
@@zoty314Yeah, that took me a second to recover from since it looked like Intel consistently scored higher "performance per watt" from the bar graphs until I read the text under the charts title 😅
When I heard the difference in RAM speed I thought this would be super close or even a loss for Ryzen. Impressive result by AMD. Might be a new 3600.
Speed alone is not enough, Steve here is using a motherboard with tuned subtimings out of the box for the Ryzen, so it's not exactly a fair comparison, but it is what it is I guess.
@@spaghettilocomotive How do you know this?
In fact the intel platform is using the higher clocked memory with EXPO/XMP.
Seems like you are throwing some shade there,
I would love to see you back it up with evidence.
@@spaghettilocomotive WTF??? The only thing "not fair" about this video would be the fact that he's using 7200 ram vs 6000 ram. But, that's okay to me because Intel can sometimes get to 7200 and they offer 7200 and they need that extra lift. Imagine how bad Intel would look if Steve did 6000 compared to 6000. Stop being a fanboy and start being a fan of the best performer regardless of company.
Think that it's really a 12th gen part, it's a locked and downclocked 12600K die, so it's not featuring the architecture improvements brought with Raptor Lake. It was likely for it to lose.
I think the locked 13600 is Raptor Lake so that one might perform better, but I dont know it's price
Licking intel's boots won't give you a 13900k for free@@spaghettilocomotive
So hype for 7500F, really curious to see if its an affordable entryway into AM5
eh, just buy 7600
its like 220 bucks still@@fayis4everlove
It's currently the lowest binned am5 part, I'd avoid it.
Edit : I'm of course not saying the 13400F is worth considering, rather I would aim for the regular 7600
it cost 160$ in malaysia..certainly a good entry into am5..you can also find b650m pg riptide for 130$..
Locally it's only like 15 bucks short of the 7600 which seems utterly pointless but I'm in Australia, where Intel seems to dominate with pricing. I could see the US getting some really favourable deals on this but you'd wanna be saving $50 or more, I reckon.
Damn, i expected 13400 to put up a fight, but looks like it competes with 5600/5700x instead
The 13400F has completely identical specs to the 12600KF, except it's clocked lower which is why it cannot compete with the new Ryzens or the 13600K.

I like the addition of those context graphs, really helpful to get a fuller picture, good stuff as always HU !
Im curious to see how it compares to the 5800X3D, the recent drop prices and this new budget option would fight quite a battle
*Thank you very much for your continuous reviews and comparisons!!*
The 7500F looks like a pretty good place holder CPU with decent upgrade paths.
I assume the AM5 has two more generations left to go. If the GPUs continue to be the way they are, you may not need any upgrades at all, who knows?
My thought as well. Gets you onto the platform easily and then you know 100% that there will be something worth upgrading to down the line.
Don't do it. Wait and save your money. Placeholder + "real" cpu is way more in the end.
Exactly. It will pair well with a mid-range GPU and you got the option to do a "drop in" upgrade later on when you upgrade the gpu. A 5800X3D/5600X3D type of upgrade right at the end of the platforms lifecycle will make it a sound long term investment.
He can play with it for the next few years and have good performance with it, which is worth something. Should he play with shitty performance until the end of AM5? then you would say wait for AM6, but not the cheap ones at the start of AM6 lol. He can sell the CPU in 2 years too, so the loss is small. Also CPUs get cheaper, he could buy a 8800X3D for perhaps 300 bucks (or a cheper 8700 CPU) when the 9800X3D is released and until then have enough CPU power with the 7500F or 7600 (x)@@igelbofh
I think this would be like the Ryzen 5 3500X & 3500 where they were first introduced in China before they got sold worldwide
Fascinating-that point about the CPU even limiting the GPU at 4k shows how high end GPUs effectively require the best CPUs to ensure no performance loss.
Was getting ready to build a pc glad I watched this video I couldn’t choose between 7500F & 13400F. Now i know to get the 7500F
Nice to see solid CPUs at a budget price. Either would get the job done. 👍👍👍
The 7500F is available in the UK via multiple motherboard bundles on awd-it which is a system integrator turned full hardware shop.
7500F is $209 Canadian, while the 7600 is $299, price is before taxes on both, and 7500F has to be bought from Aliexpress. I guess if you are penny crunching on your build and you are patient, the 7500F is a good buy.
did you have to pay any customs in canada?
The 7500F is a great little chip. It should be interesting how low it is actually priced here in Europe.
The ACC results have been omitted from the charts, can we get them back please? As a sim racer, your service to the sim racing community is of particular help. Thanks!
Now i would be interested to see how it compares against an I5 13500 or maybe even an 13600 non K in FPS titles.
The pricing difference thoughh
really well rounded review team, thanks!
It's amazing performance for the price. Hoping AM5 boards and ddr5 ram get budget performance options too.
AM5 already has budget performance options for AM5 boards. A620M-HDV/M2+ and B650M-HDV/M2, now A620 board does not support 170W cpu's but does support anything up to 120W. B650 board supports anything you throw at it. Also DDR5 6000 CL36 ram is at cheapest already at 32GB under 70$ and those two mainboards are at 96$ (A620) and 125$ (B650). And if those boards are not at good enough performance then there is MSI B650M-A WiFI at 139$, AsRock B650M PG Riptide at 169$ and if even those are not enough then Gigabyte B650M Aorus Elite at 183$ should be good enough for anything you throw at it.
There already are budget options for AM5 on the B650 chipset. DDR5 prices have also been dropping. You can get a decent set of DDR5 for well under US$100.
DDR5 is barely any more expensive than DDR4 at this point. Prices have collapsed in the past six months. B650 and X670 boards are still way too expensive though, especially if you want something with PCIe 5.0 support to set yourself up for the entire AM5 generation.
There already have been for a while
cheap crucial ddr5 around 30 usd
I'm running one right now ( from a system builder in Australia) and it's great. 5.25ghz overclock and -30 curve and runs great. .not reaching 70c with a phantom spirit aircooler
The 7500f would make for a perfect super budget chip for am5 once zen 5 starts to show up. Seeing this thing sub $120 would make it a perfect buy along with the 2 dimm asrock b650 board and a cheap kit of a-die. You'd have good performance up front along with an upgrade path to zen 6 as it comes along in a few years.
Bro what 120$😅, maybe when am6 released, and 7500f become today 5600😅
Didn't even know they were releasing 7500F. I wonder whether they release some super entry level CPU as well. Though arguably you could say their AM4 stuff covers that. But we will need some Athlon on AM5 sooner or later. It might be possible soon, since prices of DDR5 and AM5 mobos are going down. Or maybe there already is such product and I'm not aware? There weren't many reviews of Athlons or Pentiums (that were often sub 50$ parts). Of course you mostly cater to enthusiasts, but once or twice a year it might be good idea to cover such stuff.
Cheers!
Overall a informative video and quality content. Cheers Mate!
What a healthy, interesting battle! In recent years I've gotten rich enough to consider high-end products, but even now, it's still more interesting to me to watch the mid-range competition game playing out.
Now if only the graphics market came back to something like this ...
That bunnyhug is the best thing I've seen in awhile. "It Depends". I love it so much.
The 7500F is a real performer if you're looking to get into the 7000 series from AMD, this is the perfect solution before you go paying over $700 plus for their high-end CPU's. I am surprised how much ahead the 7500F is ahead of the Intel 13400F well done to AMD.
I am alway very happy when I hear: Welcome back to Hardware Unboxed! You are the best of the bests (for me)! Great content as always!
In general, I'm in favor of measuring overall system power consumption but as many have already pointed out it just doesn't make sense in this comparison.
The less tech-savvy viewers might not have understood the references to other GPU's potential throughput, and thus the "quick and dirty" look at the numbers would see both contestants roughly equal, when in fact the AMD part is already superior out of the box and allows for further tuning by more advanced users, whereas the Intel part is nowhere near its contender when it comes to either power consumption as a raw figure or performance per watt.
I bought one for 152 USD on Ebay weeks ago. Oc'd it to 5.2 all core under a Thermalright Assassin SE for 41 Canadian and called it a day. 5.2Ghz 247365.
Im still debating either the 7500f, the 7600 or the 7600x (the 2 latter ones are the same price afaik), i planned to pair them with the asrock b650m pro rs, but im afraid with the 7500f i need to flash the bios for it to even boot, kinda afraid of that, atleast with the 7600's it can boot, but the difference is 40 dollars so dunno what to do really.
CPUs are in pretty good spot in all segments, wish I could say the same about GPUs, where there's nothing playable under $600 if you account for UE5 games.
Is UE5 standard for the budget gpus now? If you want top of the line performance, get a top of the line gpu
@@overgaard1337 I mean UE 4 was top of the line before , but atleast the 3060 can run it...
@@overgaard1337yes, UE5 requires a midrange card. That’s a problem today because midrange means something completely different (the $600 in question isn’t “high end” anymore). Back in the day, a new engine accompanying a new console generation would be more demanding, but definitely at least playable on $200 midrange graphics hardware in a console-priced budget build. Today, PC price-performance is still drastically behind the new consoles 3 years after they launched. AMD and nVidia have played the market.
nVidia don’t really care if less people buy the cards because they’re transitioning further into CAD and AI. AMD don’t really care if less people buy the cards because their hardware is in the console that you’d buy instead.
So when the opportunity came to sell graphics cards with 5x the margin that they used to, nVidia jumped on it, and AMD thought it was more lucrative to join them than to operate in the budget sector with no competition.
The 6700XT therefore is AMD’s only competent affordable offering (nVidia have absolutely none), and it sells for around 320. And you’re not even getting a proper midrange sweet-spot card for that money. It happens to be roughly equivalent to the PS5’s GPU, although of course you’d lack optimisation, and there’s no way you’re building a machine around it for the price of a PS5. Back when the PS4 launched you’d get a GTX 770 for that money and that would run any game comfortably for years.
You’re right in that it’s totally reasonable for UE5 to require a midrange card. But the midrange is beyond people’s reach. The PC platform has never had this problem before, where the majority of players flat out can’t launch new games. It’s gonna be interesting.
@@ChrisStoneinator Nvidia manufacturing node is much more expensive. I am an AMD user since forever, zero complains. But AMD are currently in a position where they got almost no throwaways, basically way cheaper manufacturing node. If Nvidia are greedy, AMD are way greedier for these asking prices especially in the mid-below mid range, matching the competition prices (when it comes to gpus :/)

I would love to see a 7500f vs 7600 comparison at stock and pbo. That would really show if performance between these 2 identical chips is actually the same
The only difference is 100 out of 5000 mhz, so 2-3%
A direct comparrison between those two would've made more sense. The i5 is on an end of life platform. If you're building from scratch it would mean you are spending money on a PC with no real upgrade path. Other than higher end CPU of the same gen. The 7000s mobos would allow for a CPU upgrade 2 gens down the line while keeping the same. And the 7500 over the 7600 you can instead put 20-30 more on a mobo. That in the case of current prices, it does make a difference on features and VRM. $130 to 150 or 150 to 170-180. That would make sure not only that the 1 or 2 gens down the line still work. But that a higher end version would work well. Like a R7 9800 or something like that. If your are gonna nickle and dime to the point an intel 13XXX is an option. Then why go AM5 and not AM4?
Man it would be nice to have this kind of low end competition in the GPU space

WOW! STELLAR FORMAT! Dropping in these "GPU realty checks" here and there is EPIC! Obviously I still prefer the mammoth "CPU to GPU scaling" videos, but I also perfectly understand that making those is like having done a root canal without anaesthetic. But just dropping "This is where a XYZ GPU taps out" gets the point across SO well! Thanks Steve!
Since the Nvidia driver overhead is probably more noticeable with these CPUs, a retest vs the 7900XTX would be super interesting!
Also a retest of nVidia vs AMD driver overhead with newer drivers, CPUs and GPUs would be nice
Not bad. It's ~200 euro in the EU, seemingly available at the moment. Worth considering for a budget build. The 12600KF is the same money, but on a dead platform, very high power consumption and needing an expensive mobo for overclocking.
Well you can buy a cheap 12400f with cheap DDR4 and cheap motherboard. Better value than both of these.
That is true, but what's even better value is a Ryzen 5600 on a B550 board. Performance is the same as 12400f but the platform is more feature-rich than a B660 eg. Currently 5600 and a cheap good B550 board are ~10% cheaper than a 12400f+a cheap good B660.
I think looking at power use with overall system consumption rather than just CPU power consumption makes the results too "contaminated" by GPU behaviour, if there are big differences in frame rate this causes the GPU to work harder and consume more energy for the best performing part regardless of it's own power use, and in the more limited scenarios the GPU can also downclock and reduce it's voltage when underutilized making it more efficient at the same time.
I think it was better when the reviews compared the power use of just the reviewed component (CPU or GPU) rather than overall system power. I understand the whole metric is important specially to give an indication on what sort of power supply requirement would be needed, but the individual component power consumption should also be featured in the chart or as a separate graph I think, and make the conclusions based on that.
This actually will finally make me upgrade to the AM5 platform
The 13400F is $200 right now in the US and that doesn't count any Micro Center in-store magic. Until we know the price, the value of the 7500F is unknown. If it's the same price or lower AND actually gets stock outside China, it's interesting. If it's like $210 or $220 USD, kind of just another step on the ladder and not exciting at all.
i wish u added some productivity benchmark. id like to see 7z decompression as thats whats 99% people use.
id also like to see a power efficiency comparison and benefits of undervolting
This is definitely something I'd like to look into so I can upgrade my R5 2600, which is still going strong, but showing its age, even if I'm not doing AAA gaming at all
consider a 5800x3D
I have benchmarks on my YT channel as well of some indie games.
It's a beast and I'm generally GPU limited even at 1080p in most games.
This thing will last me at-least another 4 years, maybe even more.
even a 2nd hand $100 5600 would be an huge upgrade to your CPU. but i also recommend 5800x3d due to how fast it is while being in am4 platform. unless you want longevity, then i can understand why you opt for AM5.
Steve thanks for all this hard work to be the ultimate computer consumer's advocate.
Was able to get the 7500F at around 9,000php (160usd) here in PH
where did u buy it? its still around 10k in lazada but thats like chinese seller to ph. datablitz has it for 11k
Maybe you should add the current fastest gaming cpu as a reference, just so we could see what we are potentially missing out on? Unless it's to distracting and extra work?
The 7500F really seems like the best option in a vast majority of cases and if I was to buy or recommend to any friends or family it's really hard to argue against.
I have read about a problem with recent Intel CPUs that they have moved some scheduling hardware off package. I don't know what CPUs are affected by this and haven't had the chance to see it for myself. From the information I've seen it appears to add latency when it comes to comes to simpler tasks such as launching and interacting with 'easier' workloads such as launching a web browser or performing tasks within a program that isn't necessarily classically resource intensive. Having these kinds of scheduling means the CPU needs to be assigned their short, sort of unexpected work, off package and the physical distance is just a lot longer.
Have you noticed this at HWU at all? It seems when the cpu is prepared with a more complex instruction it's not an issue. It can prepare the workload of a benchmark without any problems and so the result isn't affected in graphs like these.
Do you notice anything outside of the benchmarking? Like switching between or loading tabs in internet browsers, loading parts of the control panel for example? This is something Intel were very good at with Sandy Bridge as an example, the snappyness of day-to-day operations. And how good is AMD in comparison? This would be something that I as a consumer would like more information about.
Good test scores is absolutely the #1 metric but snappiness in everyday use might be a hard to test part of performance numbers but it still interests me a great deal.
Thank you for your diligent work, I was just wondering if it's possible to construct some sort of test to see how, in a lack of a better word, well it performs with in the experience of how quickly it responds in regular use.
(i wish I could make my point with less text but it's a complicated and very much something subjective)
I am amazed by the 7500f. And it’s an am5 cpu. And right now they are selling them for the same price in my country. Wtf… There is no contest here.
*Probably buy this CPU soon, boards and DDR5 Prices have come down in price recently!*
This is huge. I sometimes skip straight to the graphs and this time I was confused about the results. I thought to myself “Wasn’t intel supposed to be good or at least on par with amd?” Then I remembered intel allows for ddr4 ram sticks so maybe that’s why. Rewinded back to test configuration and shocked by the fact that both are tested with ddr5 sticks. Wow.
The problem with the 13400(F) is that it's not really 13th gen; it uses Alder Lake and is more or less a downclocked 12600K. Because of that it misses out on Raptor Lake's improved L2 and L3 cache, which makes a big difference in gaming performance. And the 13500 is a weird hybrid that has Raptor Lake L3 but Alder Lake L2.
If you want an intel CPU that can really challenge Zen 4 in gaming workloads, you need a 13600K or more.
I was momentarily in awe when I saw the Baldur's Gate 3 benchmark, because I realized it was the first time that a game I am interested in was included in the benchmarks ;D I love Bethesda and FromSoftware games and those are never included given they have been FPS limited ..

Muy bueno y sorprendente la potencia del AMD.. me gustó mucho. Me gustaría ver una comparativa de rendimiento de ryzen 5 7500f vs ryzen 5 7600.. para ver qué tanto es la diferencia de obligar a trabajar más al GPU
The difference is going to be minuscule. The 7500f is a 7600 without integrated graphics and slightly lower clock speeds, 100mhz as stated in the video.
se ve bueno pero realmente esperaba que los rumores de que costara 160$ fuera cierto porque a 180 y con el 7600 bajando ahsta 200 en oferta como que no es muy buen incentivo para ir por el.

Pretty interesting overall.

DON'T BUY INTEL!
I'm stating this as a user of the 13900K. I've felt deceived. The performance of the E-cores is on par with my aging i7 3770k. It feels like a blend of modern cores with outdated ones from a decade ago. I cannot endorse this choice. Opt for AMD for the time being until Intel shifts to manufacturing CPUs with TSMC and discontinues the E-cores, which have been controversial.
That just runs contrary to how we've seen the processor behave in apps and games. The cores might run at the same clock speed as your old i7 but IPC has increased every gen.
@@nimrodery The P-cores are undeniably fast. However, I must point out that the E-cores appear to lack practical utility, and the inclusion of 16 of them seems excessive. How am I expected to utilize them effectively? Are they intended for running virtual machines with subpar CPU performance from a decade ago? It would have been more sensible to invest in a budget Ivy Bridge server CPU, which currently costs less than 50 dollars.
@@ahmedmahrotos2335 You might get more cores but they'd be slower at the same clock speed (and server parts are often clocked at half the speed of your E-cores). Maybe you just need a bigger cooler, a higher TDP would allow more headroom and you should be experiencing a damn good CPU. Either that or you got a dud that you should RMA. I'm sitting on an older i7 and it's not that great. The price to performance ratio is probably not bad on older server gear but you'll lose performance in basically every application.
edit: changed "P-cores" to "E-cores," i always mix those up
dont worry you will have an upgrade path to 14900k lol. i stopped using intel at haswell "refresh"
If we assume that 4 e cores are equal to 1 p core in sillicon, 13900K would be an amazing 12-core CPU, if intel didn't go with these gimped e-cores. Their purpose is to inflate core counts and pump the cinebench score. And 13600K would be a 8-core monster.

Add like 5% for the 7600x. NEAT!
Remember when a "budget" combo was: 70$ motherboard + 100$ CPU + 50$ kit of RAM?
*YEAH* ...
How much is that after factoring avg inflation?
May still not be great, prices suck on everything lately, but it's probably a smaller gap than at initial glance.
R5 5500 is less than 100 dollars. It's low end, not budget
How was your "Performance Per Watt" graph created? Normally such a graph would be FPS per Watt, but your graph says "Lower is Better" which would tend to suggest that you intended to create some backwards "Watt Per Performance" graph showing Watt per FPS?
i got it a month ago and no regret missing the 13400f
Finally efficiency charts ❤❤❤❤❤
What unit is performance per Watt actually measured in? Because it seems like, that it should be frames/Watt, if you measure performance in FPS. But as the chart is measured in Watts and lower is better, aren't you really measuring Watt per performance? And even then, the chart should show the unit as Watt/frame
Seems to me like it's Watt/Fps, yes
When it comes to power usage, I'd be interested in seeing how much the CPUs consume power at idle. That information would make quite a big difference when it comes to choosing a CPU for a home server running 24/7, mostly at idle.
Based on user self-reports I've come across online, Intel CPUs seem to consume a lot less power at idle than AMD CPUs. Additionally, Intel CPUs have Quick Sync, which is great for transcoding video, so you can efficiently stream video content from your server. So, if you have old systems lying in the corner and you're thinking of building an efficient home server with light expected CPU loads, it would seem to behoove you to build an Intel system.
(In case you're curious about my power consumption, I run a home server with an I5-7500 without a discrete GPU + 3 HDDs and 2 NVMe drives for cache, and the whole system draws around 28 W from the wall at idle. For comparison, AMD systems seem to consume at least 50 or so watts.)
idle actually isnt practical use, low loads like browsing youtube etc that counts, ecores should lead at that
This has been observed to be caused by the io die chiplet which was made on older node and less efficient that the cores chiplet themself. Mobile based AMD cpu however is another matter as they usually consist of one monolithic die and lacked io die, thus uses less power at idle. If you are building cpu from gound up and idle is your primary concern, do look for mobile based amd cpu like the minisforum mini box for example.
12:50 a performance per watt chart showing the results in watts 'per performance' is really counter intuitive
