AMD Ryzen 5000G series APU will have a small premium

by ·

AMD’s Ryzen 7 5700G and Ryzen 5 5600G APUs will go on sale on August 5. They use the Cezanne architecture, which is the desktop version of the Ryzen 5000 series mobile processors released earlier this year. It is composed of Zen 3 CPU core and Vega architecture core. It is produced by TSMC 7nm process, which can provide a good entry-level gaming experience. It is quite suitable when the current graphics card price is still high.

However, it is important to know that the entire semiconductor market is currently experiencing insufficient production capacity. Although AMD placed a lot of 7nm orders for TSMC in the third quarter, it still has to give priority to meeting the notebook OEM orders. The Ryzen 5000G desktop APU, which also uses the Cezanne core, is not so high in priority, so there may be out-of-stock or price increases in the early stage of the market.

In fact, many e-commerce companies have already put Ryzen 5000G series processors on the shelves. Tomshardware has made statistics on them. The results are as follows

In Canada, the price of Ryzen 7 5700G is up to 18% higher than the suggested retail price, the price of Ryzen 5 5600G is also 17% higher than the suggested retail price. In the European region, the price is also about 10% higher than the suggested retail price and does not include VAT. After all, the Ryzen 5000 series processors had been out of stock and their prices increased for a while.
