Eight cores to 5.0GHz at 65W — the 8700G with the graphics switched off and the price cut.
Quick Specs
- 8 cores / 16 threads, 4.1GHz base, up to 5.0GHz boost
- 24MB total cache (8MB L2 + 16MB L3)
- 65W TDP (configurable 45–65W), AM5 socket
- DDR5 up to 5200, dual channel, up to 256GB
- Unlocked multiplier
Eight cores without paying for a GPU you won't use
The 8700F is the 8700G minus the Radeon 780M graphics — same eight Zen 4 cores, same 4.1GHz base and 5.0GHz boost, less money. If a graphics card is going in anyway, that integrated GPU was never going to earn its keep, and this is the cheaper, more sensible buy. Sixteen threads handle streaming while gaming, video edits and virtual machines comfortably, and 65W means it stays cool on a mid-range air cooler.
Cache and PCIe, as with all 8000-series
16MB of L3 and PCIe 4.0 rather than the 32MB and PCIe 5.0 you get on a Ryzen 7 9700X. In gaming that gap is real but modest; in multi-threaded work it barely shows. The other consequence of the "F" is that there's no display output at all without a card — worth remembering if you ever need to troubleshoot the machine with the GPU removed. For a mid-range AM5 build with a discrete card, the 8700F is strong value.

Questions
Before you buy
Which motherboards will this CPU fit?
It uses the AM5 socket, so it needs a motherboard with a matching socket. Sockets are not cross-compatible - a chip will not physically fit a board built for a different one. Every motherboard we list shows its socket on the Specifications tab, and it is worth checking the board maker’s support list for a BIOS update if the board is from an earlier generation than the chip.
How many cores and threads does it have?
8 cores and 16 threads. Cores do the work; threads are the number of jobs the chip can keep in flight at once. Games lean on a handful of fast cores, while rendering, compiling and video export scale with the total count.
What sort of cooler does it need?
It is rated at 65W TDP, which is the heat a cooler has to carry away under sustained load. Match or beat that figure with the cooler you choose, and check the What’s in the box list above - some processors ship with a cooler, some do not. Our PC Builder only offers coolers that fit the socket you have picked.
Do I need a separate graphics card with it?
Yes. This processor has no integrated graphics, so you will need a graphics card in the machine for it to output any picture at all. Budget for one in the build rather than treating it as a later upgrade.
Is it in stock, and when will it ship?
Yes - this one is in stock. Order before 12:00 on a working day and it ships the same day; after that it goes out the next working day. We are open 09:00 to 16:30, Monday to Friday, so an order placed over a weekend or a public holiday ships on the next working day.
What does delivery cost, and how long does it take?
We deliver by courier anywhere in South Africa, and delivery is R180 on orders under R2 500 and free on orders of R2 500 or more. It takes 1-3 working days to Johannesburg, Pretoria, Cape Town, Durban and areas within 100km of them, and 2-4 working days to areas more than 100km from a major centre, counted from the day the order is dispatched. Need it sooner? Express delivery is 1-2 working days for R210, or R150 on orders of R2 500 or more - choose it at checkout. We do not ship outside South Africa.
Can I collect instead of having it delivered?
Yes. Collection is from 11 Voortrekker Avenue, Edenvale, Gauteng, by arrangement - message us first so we can have the order picked and waiting. We are open 09:00 to 16:30, Monday to Friday.
What warranty does it carry, and how do I claim?
The warranty period for this product is listed at the end of the Specifications section above. Claims go through us, not the manufacturer - contact us with your order number and a description of the fault and we will handle it from there. Separately from any warranty, the Consumer Protection Act gives you six months from delivery to return goods that are defective, unsafe or not fit for their intended purpose.
What if I change my mind?
You have 14 days from delivery to change your mind - longer than the seven days the Electronic Communications and Transactions Act requires. The item needs to be unused and in its original packaging, and we pay the return shipping. Refunds go back to the payment method you used, within 30 days of the return reaching us.
How can I pay?
Payments are processed by Stitch. At the last step of checkout you are taken to Stitch’s secure page to pay, and brought back here once it is done. Your card details are entered on Stitch’s secure, PCI-compliant page and never touch our systems.
