Amazon has revealed the AMD Ryzen 7 8700F release date and price, but there are much better and cheaper processors available right now.

AMD still stands as a leading manufacturer of gaming PC components, including the legendary Ryzen processors. One of the most powerful models from its Ryzen 7000 series is finally discounted with a hefty 45% reduction at Antonline for only $329.99, cutting down the previously dizzying MSRP of $599.

AMD has listed the Ryzen 7 8700F for sale on Amazon. However, its $300 price tag makes it unattractive compared to AMD's cheaper-yet-better-performing Ryzen 7 7700 series alternatives.

Unlike Intel, AMD still releases new products for its long-standing motherboard platforms, and the Ryzen 7 5700X3D was released in 2024, with a price of $249. That price was already good, but at $229 it’s an even better gaming upgrade if you don’t have a massive amount of money to spend.

We put one of the most overshadowed members of the Zen4 7000 family of AMD Processors to the test to figure out just how much juice it has to offer users.

The AMD Ryzen 7 8700F (MSRP $329), an alternative to the Ryzen 7 8700G desktop processor with Ryzen AI that lacks integrated graphics, will be released on May 14 for $299.99, according to a new listing for the CPU that can be found on Amazon.
