Thread count
16
Maximum boost clock
5 GHz

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.

Key strengths

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
The checks that matter.

Before you buy

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.

Memory support

7 items
Memory support
Dual-channel DDR5 UDIMM; up to 256 GB; DDR5-5200 with two DIMMs or DDR5-3600 with four

AMD 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.

Source
Memory ceiling with two DIMMs
5200 MT/s

Applies to two single-rank or two dual-rank DDR5 modules. EXPO memory overclocking is separate and depends on the motherboard.

Source
Memory ceiling with four DIMMs
3600 MT/s

Applies to four single-rank or four dual-rank DDR5 modules; slower than the two-module rating.
