AMD delivers on its promise to allow consumers to purchase some of its recently launched Ryzen 5000 G series processors. On Thursday, two models from the lineup became available in several stores in different regions worldwide.
The AMD Ryzen 5000 G series processors were previously OEM-only products, which meant that people could not just visit an online or physical store and get them. That changed this week, though, as AMD updated its website to identify stores in various continents where customers can find the processors.
It should be noted, though, that only the Ryzen 5 5600G and Ryzen 7 5700G are available to the consumers. In AMD’s Where to Buy page, the company has placed “5000G Series PC” tags beside the names of retailers where these processors can be purchased. The countries where these processors are available on a consumer level include the United States, Canada, Belgium, Germany, France, Switzerland, and Argentina.
Both processors are built on AMD’s 7nm Zen 3 architecture and are unlocked to reach max boost speeds. The AMD Ryzen 5 5600G comes with 6 cores and 12 threads, as well as 7 GPU cores. It is advertised with a base clock speed of 3.9GHz and up to 4.4GHz max boost speed. Its suggested retail price is $259.
The Ryzen 7 5700G is available for $359 and has 8 cores and 16 threads. AMD lists its base clock speed at 3.8GHz, but its max boost speed can reach up to 4.6GHz. It also has one more GPU core than the Ryzen 5 5600G. With these technical specifications, both Ryzen 5000 G series processors should be capable of running even the latest AAA games.
PC gamers should note, though, that they come with built-in older Radeon graphics cards, so they are not equipped with AMD’s RDNA or Navi technologies. That means these processors are unlikely able to handle running games at their highest FPS and resolution settings. But IGN notes that their graphics core and other technical specs are designed to run new AAA titles at 1080p.
However, given their price and the specs mentioned, the AMD Ryzen 5000G series processors are still worth considering, especially for PC gamers who need to upgrade their systems. Aside from their cheaper price tags, these processors are not difficult to find, and customers do not have to wait every week for uncertain restocks.
