What it brings and what to check

AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D

What it brings

96 MB of L3 cache thanks to AMD 3D V-Cache, with 8 Zen 4 cores, 16 threads and up to 5 GHz boost.
Manufacturer source
Supports EXPO memory profiles, Precision Boost Overdrive and Curve Optimizer, plus PCIe 5.0 with 24 usable lanes and basic Radeon graphics for display output.
Manufacturer source

What to check

No cooler in the box, and AMD recommends liquid cooling for best performance. You also need an AM5 motherboard whose BIOS supports this processor, plus DDR5 memory.
Manufacturer source
AMD doesn't list unlocked CPU-multiplier overclocking for this model, and memory is rated at DDR5-5200 with two sticks but only DDR5-3600 with four.
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.
