WHAT EACH CHOICE ASKS OF YOU

What it brings and what to check

AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D

What it brings

96 MB of L3 cache thanks to AMD 3D V-Cache, three times the 5800X's 32 MB, with 8 Zen 3 cores, 16 threads and up to 4.5 GHz boost.
Manufacturer source Manufacturer source Manufacturer source Manufacturer source
Supports up to 128 GB of DDR4 with ECC on compatible motherboards, and PCIe 4.0 with 20 usable CPU lanes; the box adds a Carbice Ice Pad.
Manufacturer source Manufacturer source

What to check

Has no integrated graphics, so a separate graphics card is required.
Manufacturer source
Memory speed depends on how many sticks you fit: DDR4-3200 with two, DDR4-2933 with four single-rank and DDR4-2667 with four dual-rank. It also needs an AM4 motherboard with a compatible BIOS.
Manufacturer source
AMD doesn't list unlocked CPU-multiplier overclocking for this model; its Ryzen Master guide adds memory overclocking only. No cooler is included.
Manufacturer source Manufacturer source

AMD Ryzen 7 8700F

What it brings

8 Zen 4 cores and 16 threads with up to 5 GHz boost and 16 MB of L3 cache, at a 65 W default TDP.
Manufacturer source
Unlocked for overclocking, with EXPO, PBO, Curve Optimizer and Ryzen Master, plus a Ryzen AI engine (NPU) that AMD supports with its NPU driver.
Manufacturer source Manufacturer source

What to check

No integrated graphics, so you need a separate graphics card. As a tray processor it may not come with a cooler; check the listing.
Manufacturer source
PCIe 4.0 only (16 of 20 lanes usable), and memory is rated at DDR5-5200 with two sticks but only DDR5-3600 with four.
Manufacturer source
AMD quotes the AI engine at up to 16 TOPS without saying how it was measured, so the figure is hard to compare with other NPUs.
Manufacturer source
AMD's 8700F page doesn't state ECC memory support; check the motherboard and CPU listing if you need ECC.
