AMD Ryzen 5 2500X Makes First Appearance in an OEM Desktop

[btarunr]

Ahead of its launch, AMD's mainstream Ryzen 5 2500X quad-core processor made its first appearance in an OEM pre-built desktop, the Acer Nitro N50-100. The 2500X is a 4-core/8-thread part clocked at 3.60 GHz with 4.00 GHz boost, and XFR 2.0 boosting it further. It's expected to be launched alongside the new entry-level Ryzen 3 2300X and the HEDT Ryzen Threadripper 2000 series processors later this year.

Priced at 943.50€, the Acer Nitro N50-100 combines the AMD Ryzen 5 2500X with a Radeon RX 580 4 GB graphics card, and 8 GB of single-channel DDR4 memory. It also features 256 GB of SSD storage, and a 1 TB secondary HDD. Connectivity includes 802.11 b/g/n WLAN, USB 3.1 gen 2, and DVD-RW ODD. Windows 10 Home comes pre-installed. You can customize this desktop with faster socket AM4 processor options, more RAM, and bigger SSDs.

Oem meaning rip off premium.

ram is most of the price of computers.

On OEM builds like desktops installing a 2nd dimm is easy unlike laptops, premium ones especially with IGP and single channel is far far far worse.

Every pre built PC I have seen in recent years that features 8 GB RAM is always comprised of a single stick.

I... don't know why these take so long to come out. 2300X and 2500X should have come out months ago...

2 4GB stick would have been better. Though basic OEM Desktop with only two slot and 945Euro price tag..

I'm still waiting for Dell to release precision workstation with Ryzen and Threadripper. I just don't understand why it isn't done yet. Last time I spoke with a representative, they weren't even planning to do so.

Stop accepting Intel bribe mr.Dell.

$1100 USD for a mid-range CPU and B350 Mobo, a stick of 8Gb, while a GPU memory amount that was perhaps okay in 2016 for 1080p? Over $1000 and not ready to run their XF270HU 27" WQHD FreeSync LED Monitor, for-get-about-it

If that system had a MSRP of say < $700 I might be saying that at least appropriate. Just when the desktop market has a little blip into get better the OEM's think it's time to gouge like everyone else has... Sad.

They castrated it with that move.

Yes but their service after-sale / warranty in Canada is exceptionally good.

I can be shure after some years psu or motherboard will die.

I guess their yields have been good, so not enough failed 2600 dies to make into quad core parts.
