Quote:AMD Ryzen 5 9500F now has a release date

The 6-core iGPU-free processor is now expected to launch in less than two weeks.



Benchlife has shared what appears to be the official presentation slides of the Ryzen 5 9500F, interestingly in English. This is unusual because AMD China has already confirmed that this SKU is exclusive to the Chinese market, at least the version carrying product code 100-000001406.

Since AMD China already listed the CPU for sale, the September 16 release date shown in these slides is confusing. Why have a release date if the official store promises to ship CPUs before September 9? This raises the possibility of a global launch under different product codes. But what we do know for certain, because we checked, is that the original product number listed by some US retailers has disappeared.
