AMD's turbocharged Ryzen 5000G APUs get a DIY street date, and a new philosophy

Your prayers are being answered, DIY PC builders: During its Computex 2021 keynote, AMD announced that its hotly anticipated Ryzen 5000G APUs, which marry the company’s latest CPU cores with integrated Radeon graphics, will launch in just a few months, on August 5. But circumstances around the ongoing chip shortage mean these APUs don’t fill the same role as prior-generation models.Previous Ryzen 2000G and 3000G APUs slotted into the low end of AMD’s processor lineups, offering four CPU cores and eight threads for prices ranging from $80 to $150 or so on the streets. This time around, however, AMD doesn’t plan on making its modest Ryzen 3 5300G APU available to the DIY market. Instead, we’ll be getting the $259 Ryzen 5 5600G and $359 Ryzen 7 5700G.To read this article in full, please click here https://www.pcworld.com/article/3620278/amd-ryzen-5000g-apus-prices-specs-and-availability.html#tk.rss_all
