According to unofficial information, AMD is working on cheaper processors for AM5. They will cost around $100, but will differ technologically for the worse.
Currently, the cheapest AMD Ryzen 7000 processor is the 6-core Ryzen 5 7500F, which is sold exclusively in some markets for about $119, making it cheaper than Ryzen 5 7600, which officially are the cheapest - around $170.
According to a report from Bits and Chips, AMD plans to transition some entry-level Ryzen 7000 models (presumably 7500F/7600) to the 7nm TSMC process technology. Currently, the computing cores of these processors are manufactured using 5nm technology. Downgrading will allow AMD to save money and offer cheaper chips. Along with the release of the new Ryzen 9000 series processors from AMD, they will likely release one or two Athlon / Ryzen 3 processors that could be these 7nm chips.
Intel may soon find itself in a similar situation, as the future LGA-1851 platform may not have budget models at launch. This will change over time with a possible update to the Meteor Lake lineup. However, both companies seem to be focusing on supporting their old platforms. Intel plans to introduce the Bartlett Lake-S series for the LGA-1700 socket.
