An 8-core, 16-thread Zen 4 processor for AM5 with up to 5 GHz boost, 16 MB of L3 cache, a 65 W TDP and a Ryzen AI engine rated up to 16 TOPS. It has no integrated graphics, so a graphics card is required; this is the tray version, so check whether the seller includes a cooler.

Specifications checked 12 Sept 2026Manufacturer specifications, not a hands-on test.
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.
Unlocked for overclocking, with EXPO, PBO, Curve Optimizer and Ryzen Master, plus a Ryzen AI engine (NPU) that AMD supports with its NPU driver.
No integrated graphics, so you need a separate graphics card. As a tray processor it may not come with a cooler; check the listing.
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.
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.
AMD's 8700F page doesn't state ECC memory support; check the motherboard and CPU listing if you need ECC.
Products in this catalogue that list the same socket or memory type as the AMD Ryzen 7 8700F. A shared socket or memory type is necessary but not sufficient: check the exact CPU and memory support lists, and the BIOS version, before buying.

36 specifications in 9 groups. Values are manufacturer specifications unless a row says “Measured result” or “Calculated from cited specifications”. 3 rows repeat listed facts in the manufacturer’s own wording, kept under “Manufacturer wording”.
Peak boost clock, not a sustained all-core speed.
SourceAMD's base clock, not a sustained workload speed.
SourceAMD's CPU core architecture.
SourceAutomatic boost; clocks vary with workload, cooling, power and firmware.
SourceAMD lists the CPU as unlocked for overclocking, with EXPO memory profiles, Precision Boost Overdrive, Curve Optimizer and Ryzen Master support. Results depend on the motherboard, cooling and the individual chip.
SourceThe same facts in the manufacturer’s combined or original wording, each with its source.
Default TDP, not measured system power.
SourceAMD's maximum operating temperature (Tjmax), not a typical running temperature.
SourceAMD's configurable TDP range; the motherboard decides which settings are offered.
SourceThe same facts in the manufacturer’s combined or original wording, each with its source.
AMD's thermal design rating, not the power the whole system will draw.
SourceAMD rates two DIMMs (single- or dual-rank) at DDR5-5200 and four at DDR5-3600. Check the motherboard's memory support list; EXPO speeds aren't guaranteed.
SourceApplies to two single-rank or two dual-rank DDR5 modules. EXPO memory overclocking is separate and depends on the motherboard.
SourceApplies to four single-rank or four dual-rank DDR5 modules; slower than the two-module rating.
SourceMemory channels in the processor, not the number of motherboard DIMM slots.
SourceNeeds a compatible system configuration; any gain varies by game and graphics card.
SourceAMD's CPU limit; the motherboard, its BIOS and the memory kit must also support this capacity.
SourceAMD's 8700F page doesn't state ECC memory support; check the motherboard and CPU listing if you need ECC.
SourceAMD says a discrete graphics card is required; the motherboard's video ports won't work with this processor.
SourceAMD says a discrete graphics card is required; the motherboard's video ports won't work with this processor.
SourceAMD lists an AI engine for this model and provides an NPU driver for it on its Windows 11 support page. Applications, drivers and firmware must support it.
AMD quotes up to 16 TOPS for the AI engine without stating the numerical precision or test workload, so it can't be compared directly with other NPU ratings.
SourceNative CPU version and lane totals, not graphics-slot width or motherboard slot count. Actual links depend on the motherboard and installed devices.
SourceUSB provided by the processor itself; the motherboard decides which ports, including any USB4, are actually fitted.
SourceThe motherboard, drivers and drives must also support these modes, and some boards offer fewer.
SourceChipset families AMD lists; check the motherboard's CPU-support list and BIOS version.
SourceAMD lists global availability; UK and US stock, box contents and warranty can still vary by seller.
SourceThis is the tray version (100-000001590) and AMD doesn't list a cooler with it. Check the seller's listing and budget for an AM5 cooler if none is included.
SourceAMD lists SSE, SSE2, SSE3, SSSE3, SSE4.1, SSE4.2 and SSE4A individually; software must support them.
SourceHardware security feature, not a complete security guarantee.
