I was thinking about purchasing the 7500f, but discovered the 8700f for just $20 more. I'm uncertain if it's truly superior. So far, I haven't located any direct comparisons between those two CPUs, though when looking at other AM5 chips the outcomes seem unusual—sometimes slightly inferior to a 7700, other times much worse in certain games. I only found tests that compare the 7500f with the 8700G, which are essentially the same chip, but I'm not entirely convinced. The performance difference seems tied to the cache.

Smaller L3 cache yet improved printing technology. That additional 16MB of L3 might be crucial in certain games, meaning if you don’t require extra multicore performance, the 7500F could be preferable. 7500F follows the usual Ryzen MCM design, whereas the 8700F uses a single chip APU. The key drawback is the reduced L3 storage size.
