AMD is quietly expanding its Ryzen 7000 series lineup with the Ryzen 5 7400F, a new budget-friendly 6-core processor that could be a nice addition to the entry-level segment.

The AMD Ryzen 5 7400F (via Everest) is part of AMD's ongoing efforts to expand its processor lineup on all fronts. Just recently, we saw AMD launching the Ryzen 5 7600X3D and the Ryzen 5 9600, both aimed at a higher-price segment than the Ryzen 5 7400F.

While AMD hasn't made a formal announcement, the Ryzen 5 7400F has appeared on the company's website, revealing its specifications. This new CPU is a 6-core, 12-thread Zen 4 processor with a base clock of 3.7 GHz and a 65W TDP. It features the same 32MB L3 cache as its older sibling, the Ryzen 5 7500F, suggesting it should use the same die. Interestingly, the 7500F was never officially released for the DIY market, instead being reserved for OEMs and system integrators. However, it has found its way into retail channels.

Given its lower clock speeds and positioning below the 7500F, the 7400F is expected to be even more affordable, potentially hitting the sweet spot for budget-conscious gamers and system builders.
