AMD Ryzen 5 9500F
The Ryzen 5 9500F holds no surprises – it's exactly what we expected: a slightly down-clocked 9600X without integrated graphics. Performance, thermals, and power draw all line up neatly with that description. The silver lining is that AMD hasn't cut corners on the thermal interface material this time, unlike what we saw with the 7400F and 8400F.
