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.

But what we do know for certain, because we checked, is that the original product number listed by some US retailers has disappeared.
