Is there any grey market source where I coulg get a ryzen 3 5300G?

Title. I want to upgrade my near 11yr old cpu to something a bit newer. Note just doing this because i need a cheep cpu that preforms well. I have a gpu allready but it is low end albiet probably better then an igpu(gtx 1050 2gb). If there is a way to run igpu accelerated workloads that would be really good.

 

NOTE i mean for a resasonable price. This might be asking a bit much but still. They are like 200 bucks on ebay. for a ryzen 3.

Do you really need it? You could also look for a Ryzen 4000 or 5000 APU, they should be easier to get, but different prices.

For the 5300G, I suggest you search for "tray" as it means it's the loose version. Never sold of course.
After a quick search I found this:

Not exactly maybe what you need, it's a engineering sample.

If you already have a 1050, I'd just get a Core i3 10100 or 10105. The iGPU acceleration for Intel is more likely to be supported by applications and the CPUs can be found for under $150.

Upgrade path after that tho.

Same gen, but that'd be the same with AMD since they're also supposed to change socket on next gen.

Should i wait until zen 4 then?

The 1050 out performs the AMD APU. you should look at an I3-10105f, motherboard that support comet lake plus rocket lake and 2x8GB ddr4 memory.

 

I can find all that for £200 here in the Uk so you should be able to get if for $200 or less. Your upgrade path then would be a GPU upgrade followed by an 11th gen CPU.

The 1050 is decently fast, it's just vram starved, keep it and invest in a new cpu/mobo/ram and also get a better gpu or wait for gpu prices to get better. No point in getting an apu when you have a somewhat modern dedicated gpu.
