It seems that AMD is preparing to launch a new 6-core processor. This new CPU is the Ryzen 5 7500F and is expected to be AMD's first desktop CPU to exclude integrated graphics support, deviating from the common feature set found in AM5 CPUs.
Based on the PugetBench listings found by @harukaze5719, the CPU will feature six cores and has a 100MHz lower clock speed than the Ryzen 5 7600. As per the listing, the processor was running on an Asus ROG Strix X670E-F Gaming WIFI motherboard with 32GB of DDR5-4800 memory. Across four runs on PugetBench for DaVinci Resolve 0.93.1 (DaVinci Resolve 18.5), the system scored an average of 2192.5 points. That's about 100 points less than similar systems with Ryzen 5 7600 CPUs.

It's important to highlight that the absence of integrated GPU support has resulted in modifications to the IOD (Input/Output Die) chiplet. In the AMD Ryzen 7000 series desktop CPUs, the iGPU subsystem has been relocated to the IOD chiplet instead of being integrated into the compute tiles. Previous generations of AMD Ryzen desktop CPUs, apart from the G-Series APUs, did not have integrated GPU support.
Reportedly, the CPU is expected to be priced at approximately £10 lower than the Ryzen 5 7600, which is currently available for around £200.
KitGuru says: Seeing the specs of the Ryzen 7500F compared to the Ryzen 5 7600, the £10 difference may not be enough to justify getting the former over the latter. Not only does the Ryzen 5 7600 have a higher clock speed, but it also has an iGPU that could come in handy in case your dedicated GPU has some issues.
