TapTechNews July 17th, BitsandChips, an Italian tech media, released a blog post yesterday (July 16th), revealing that AMD is developing an economical CPU product series suitable for the AM5 socket, and the estimated price will be less than 100 US dollars (TapTechNews note: currently about 727 Chinese yuan).
The cheapest Ryzen 7000 series processor of AMD at present is the Ryzen 5 7500F processor, which is a 6-core version only sold in some markets, and the lowest price is 119 US dollars; while among the processor products sold normally in the global market, the cheapest is Ryzen 5 7600, and the discounted price is about 170 US dollars.
The report said that AMD is developing a more affordable AM5 processor to further explore the price of the Ryzen 7000 series, and the price may be less than 100 US dollars, and it may adopt TSMC's 7nm node process (the existing models use 5nm process).
The report said:
While AMD is releasing the new Ryzen 9000 series processor, it is also brewing 1-2 Athlon/Ryzen 3 series processors to complete its product lineup.
These CPUs will not use new Dies, they will be based on the existing low-end Ryzen 7000 CPUs and be produced using TSMC's 7nm process. In this way, AMD can sell economical CPUs that are less than 100 US dollars on Socket AM5.
AMD hopes to further combat Intel's Celeron processor through this measure and thereby expand its market share.
