Alleged Ryzen 8000G AM5 APU Pricing Makes an Early Appearance

[TheLostSwede]

Courtesy of serial leaker @momomo_us we now have an indication on potential pricing for AMD's upcoming 8000G-series of APUs for the AM5 socket. The Ryzen 8000G-series APUs are expected to use the same CPU cores as AMD's Zen 4 based Ryzen 7000-series CPUs, but paired with a new I/O design in a monolithic die. The leaker has provided pricing from what is said to be three different shops and for three different SKUs, with the Ryzen 5 7600 as the reference point in all three cases. All three shops list the Ryzen 5 7600 at a higher price than Amazon, so it's unlikely that we're looking at MSRP pricing here.

The Ryzen 5 8500G has a price range of US$190-240, followed by the Ryzen 5 8600G which comes in at US$240-310 and finally the Ryzen 7 8700G which is listed at US$340-440. The price span is rather large, which makes it impossible to draw any conclusions of what the MSRP will be. Tom's hardware managed to dig up a pair of retailers, including what appears to be the one with the lowest pricing in the leak, which is DirectDial. The other retailer that Tom's Hardware located was Zones, but that pricing doesn't match any of the initial leaks, but are somewhat towards the higher numbers. AMD is expected to announce the new series of APUs at CES early next year.

Hmmmm the 8600G price is a tad too close to the 8700G if it’s at $310 and the 8500G is just a no.
But YAAAAAAAAAAAAY FINALLY UPDATED APUs for desktop

I seem to remember 5700G being $350usd at launch and then dropping from there, so 8700G at $440usd + steady backsliding exchange rate makes it quite a bit of a hike, considering how late of a showing this Phoenix product is. But $340-390usd would be excellent.

If UMC can do 1:1 UCLK at ~8000 this time, then 780M should be able to live up to its full potential. But I'm guessing that's quite a big ask for UCLK while also supporting active iGPU, judging from past APU behaviour. High end Hynix is already posting 8400-8600 stable results, memory controller allowing

These would have to offer something stupendous over my 5700G before I would consider a purchase.

I'm waiting with bated breath. I'd like to upgrade my wife to something that can play older games without using a power chugging dGPU. Lately, she hasn't really play anything new and doesn't want/need more than 60FPS, even a RX 7600 would be overkill. I've considered something like a mini pc with a 7840HS, but I'd kind of like to keep discrete video as an upgrade option in case some new MMORPG comes out that tickles her fancy.

When you see the 7600 for 250 in this stores, you know they are scalpers so why you expect realistic prices? In Amazon, Best buy and everywhere 7600 is 230 or lower
