AMD Ryzen 7 8700F AM5 8-Core 65W Processor - 5GHz Boost
The AMD Ryzen 7 8700F AM5 8-Core 65W Processor is built for enthusiast desktop PC builders who want a capable, overclockable CPU without paying for integrated graphics they don't need. Pairing eight Zen 4 cores with AMD's NPU technology and DDR5 memory support, it handles demanding workloads and modern gaming when combined with a discrete graphics card.
Why this product
8 Cores, 16 Threads on Zen 4
Built on TSMC 4nm FinFET and the Zen 4 architecture, it delivers 8 high-performance cores and 16 threads for strong multi-tasking and gaming frame rates.
Boost Clock Up to 5 GHz
A 4.1 GHz base clock scales up to 5 GHz under Precision Boost, with Precision Boost Overdrive and Curve Optimizer available for further tuning.
Unlocked for Overclocking
Full overclocking support includes AMD EXPO memory overclocking technology and AMD Ryzen Master software, giving builders fine-grained control over performance.
Neural Processing Unit for AI Workloads
An integrated NPU accelerates AI-enhanced software tasks, and AI capability expands further when paired with a compatible Radeon graphics card.
Wraith Stealth Cooler Included
The box includes AMD's Wraith Stealth cooler, so builders can get up and running without sourcing a separate thermal solution.
Broad AM5 Chipset Support
Compatible with A620, B650, B650E, X670, X670E, X870, X870E, B840 and B850 motherboards, covering a wide range of build budgets and feature sets.

- Supports Windows 11 (64-bit), Windows 10 (64-bit), RHEL x86 64-bit and Ubuntu x86 64-bit.
- AI acceleration via Ryzen AI is enhanced when used with a compatible Radeon graphics card, per AMD's documentation.
- Has no integrated graphics — a discrete graphics card is required to produce any display output.
Best for
- Dedicated GPU builders who plan to pair the processor with a discrete graphics card and don't want to pay for unused integrated graphics silicon.
- Overclockers and tuners who want full unlocked multiplier access, Curve Optimizer voltage offsets, EXPO memory overclocking and Ryzen Master software control.
- Power-conscious builders who need a 65W default TDP with the option to configure down to 45W via AMD cTDP.
- AM5 platform adopters who want a modern DDR5 and PCIe 4.0 foundation with broad chipset compatibility across multiple motherboard tiers.
- AI-curious users who want an NPU on-die for accelerated AI software tasks without moving to a higher-cost processor tier.
Trade-offs
- Integrated graphics users — this processor has no integrated GPU, so anyone needing display output without a discrete card must choose a different model.
- DDR4 platform owners — AM5 requires DDR5 memory, so existing DDR4 kits cannot be reused.
- AM4 motherboard owners — the AM5 socket is physically incompatible with AM4 boards, making this a platform upgrade, not a drop-in replacement.
- High-thread-count workstation users — at 8 cores and 16 threads, heavily threaded professional workloads that benefit from 12 or more cores may be better served by a higher-tier processor.
