News Ryzen 7 8700F hits Amazon for $299.99 — pricier than the better-performing 7700X

AMD has listed the Ryzen 7 8700F for sale on Amazon. However, its $300 price tag makes it unattractive compared to AMD's cheaper-yet-better-performing Ryzen 7 7700 series alternatives.

The 7700X comes with a peak boost clock of 4.5GHz, while the 7700 features a 4.3GHz

Eh, no they don't. They are the base clocks! DOH!!! 😉

👍 Exactly, the specs mentioned are wrong. Those are base clock values. Was about to point this out. There is zero proof-reading here on Tom's HW.

Also, the Amazon listing looks fishy/fake, as it could be a placeholder, since the Model name below the listing mentions "Ryzen 5 7600X" .

It's always good to see more SKUs, but AMD's pricing for the 8700F and 8400F is strange: AMD will be competing with itself, with its lower-end Ryzen 7000 and even some of its Ryzen 8000G series CPUs and APUs beating the 8700F and 8400F in price.

Not entirely correct..

I mean these are not AMD's official MSRP values. They have not officially mentioned any global Retail pricing for these SKUs, since these processors are also most likely to be bundled with OEM pre-built PCs.

An Amazon listing doesn't necessarily imply an official company's set MSRP.

They don't try hidden these defect chips anymore.
They need to throw that on a bin not on market.
