AMD Athlon 3000G

[BeornBear]

I am planning to build a budget PC build. I am considering on the AMD Athlon 3000G or AMD Ryzen 3200G. Now that there will be a new series of AMD 5000 chips, will there be a new AMD Athlon this year?! Would it be better to wait until December before beginning a new budget build. I would like to build a system with Radeon Graphics and avoid purchasing a graphics card for the system.

Your guess is as good as anyone's...just make sure you use a B550 or X570 motherboard to guarantee compatibility.

depending where you are in the world a Ryzen 3 Pro 4350G could work as well, but finding someone selling it outside of a prebuilt system for a reasonable price is kind of difficult
I imagine there will be a new Athlon not too far into next year, but from what I understood they were only launching a few of the higher tier processors first so you may have to wait a bit.

If you can get an Athlon 3000G or 3200G and you think it will do what you need, and you can get it at a good price, then I don't see why you would need to worry. New APU products will probably be released a bit after everything else.

Zen 3 Athlon (probably 6xxxG)? Not this year, I can guarantee. APUs? Zen 2 APUs (4xxxG) are still technically OEM only, I dont see why wouldnt AMD make them available widely to those who cant buy OEM stuff so easily, but then the same could be said in Auguest and September this year but we still dont get them. I honestly don't know what [swearing] AMD's thinking.

They don't have enough production capacity probably. They can't supply enough chips for their 4000-series mobile processor.

After so long? Especially since Zen 2 CPUs are giving way to Zen 3 on a new process, TSMC should have room for Zen 2 APUs in this case.
