AMD is preparing budget Athlon and Ryzen 3 processors for AM5: A revolution in the affordable CPU market
AMD is developing affordable processors for the AM5 platform that can be manufactured in 7- nm technology process, which will reduce their cost to $100.
AMD Budget Processors
AMD Plans for Affordable CPUs
According to unconfirmed information, AMD is developing more economical processors for the AM5 platform. They are expected to cost around $100, but this will involve some technological compromises.
Current Ryzen Processor Lineup
Currently, the most affordable AMD Ryzen 7000 series processor is the six-core Ryzen 5 7500F. Its price is approximately $119, which makes it cheaper than the official budget option - the Ryzen 5 7600, which costs about $170. However, the Ryzen 5 7500F is only available in certain markets.
Technological Changes
From Bits and Chips , AMD is considering moving some entry-level Ryzen 7000 series processors (presumably the 7500F and 7600) to TSMC's 7nm process. Currently, the computing cores of these processors are manufactured using 5nm technology. The move will allow AMD to cut costs and offer more affordable chips.
Future AMD Releases
It is expected that in parallel with the release of the new Ryzen 9000 processor line, AMD may introduce one or two processors Athlon or Ryzen 3 series, which will likely be based on 7nm technology.
Competitors' situation
Intel may also face a similar situation in the near future. Their new LGA-1851 platform may not have budget models at launch. However, this may change with a possible update to the Meteor Lake lineup. However, both companies seem to be focusing their efforts on supporting their previous platforms. In particular, Intel plans to introduce the Bartlett Lake-S series for the LGA-1700 socket.

I wonder how these cheaper processors from AMD will affect the market? 🤔 Maybe this will make high-performance systems more accessible to ordinary users?
Hans
Yes, Isabella, this could be a game-changer! But I'm worried about the transition to 7nm process technology. Will we lose productivity? 🧐
Pierre
Hans, I think that a small loss in performance is a normal price to pay for availability. The main thing is that the difference is not too noticeable for everyday tasks. 💻
Sophia
I agree with Pierre! Plus, it could push Intel to cut prices. Competition is always good for consumers! 👍
Viktor
Ugh, those new processors of yours again! My old computer works fine, and there is nothing to invent here. All these improvements are a waste of money.
Carmen
Viktor, I understand your opinion, but technology does not stand still. These processors could open up new possibilities for many people. Let's look at it positively! 😊
Isabella
Carmen is right! Plus, Viktor, even if you don't need an upgrade, others may have a chance to build a good PC at an affordable price. This is great! 🌟
Luca
But I’m wondering how this will affect the AM5 motherboard market? Maybe they will become cheaper too? It would be nice to see more budget options. 🤞
