AMD's newly launched Ryzen 5 5500F and Ryzen 5 7500 hit Amazon shelves at $118 and $209 respectively. The recently launched Zen 3 and Zen 4 processors are now available for purchase on Amazon US. AMD recently expanded its Ryzen lineup by adding two new processors in the Ryzen 5000 and Ryzen 7000 families. Both processors belong to the Ryzen 5 series, bringing 6 cores and 12 threads configuration, but one is based on the older Zen 3 architecture, and the other chip uses the newer Zen 4 architecture. Roughly a week ago, the Ryzen 5 5500F was reported to launch at $99 while the Ryzen 5 7500 would carry a $189 price tag. Today, both processors officially launched on major e-retailers such as Amazon. The Ryzen 5 5500F is priced at $118 on Amazon US, while the Ryzen 5 7500 is sitting at $209. Both are sitting at $20 above their MSRPs, but initial listing prices are usually higher when a component launches on Amazon, so both CPUs might drop in price in the coming days or weeks. The Ryzen 5 5500F is particularly interesting as it belongs to the Vermeer family, and it still uses the same 16 MB L3 cache. The processor got a good boost in clocks and can reach 4.4 GHz.

A budget CPU launch at a price above MSRP. The 5500F is the Zen 3 chip, and the 7500 is the Zen 4 chip. The 6 cores and 12 threads is the configuration, and the $118 and $209 prices are the launch prices. The $20 above MSRP is the price anomaly, and the Vermeer family is the 5500F's family. The 16 MB L3 cache is the cache, and the 4.4 GHz is the clock. The Amazon launch is the event, and the $20 above MSRP is the anomaly.

The budget CPU context is the market, and the $20 above MSRP is the anomaly.

The duration of the price, the reason for the anomaly, and whether the price drops. The report gives the prices and the SKUs, but not a duration or a reason, and the $20 above MSRP is the anomaly, not a sustained price.

Whether the price drops, the reason for the anomaly, and whether the budget CPU pricing stabilizes. For the budget CPU market, the 5500F and 7500 are the SKUs that launched at $20 above MSRP, and the Amazon launch is the event that makes the anomaly visible.

AMD's newly launched Ryzen 5 5500F and 7500 hit Amazon at $118 and $209 respectively, both $20 above their MSRPs. A budget CPU launch at a price above MSRP.
