Ryzen 8000G APUs from AMD see deep price cuts across the globe, up to a jaw-dropping discount of 34% in selected stores Offered on the desktop AM5 platform, Ryzen 8000G APUs made their debut earlier this year with an amalgamation of Zen 4 and RDNA 3.
AMD Ryzen 8000G APUs Price Drop
Hawk Point offered APUs on a variety of SKUs, including standard and PRO variants; although it understands that these parts have experienced some significant price reductions over the last couple of months. Of course, there are a number of other reasons for this including the release of AMD’s upcoming Ryzen 9000 “Zen 5” Desktop CPUs and their desire to make sure pricing is going to be competitive against where they originally wanted prices, value-maximizing factors which in turn maximize appeal towards consumers who might want an AM5 platform(s).
In the US market, prices for AMD Ryzen 8000G APUs have dropped notably: the Ryzen 7 8700G is available for as low as $270, the Ryzen 5 8600G for $152, and the Ryzen 5 8500G for $140. Similarly, in Europe, prices have decreased significantly, with the Ryzen 7 8700G priced as low as €263.80, the Ryzen 5 8600G at €189.65, and the Ryzen 5 8500G at €143.03—a reduction of up to 28% compared to official MSRPs in the EU market and up to 34% in the US market.
This has trickled down to retail with US listings from B&H Photo and Newegg, as well as Europe prices on Geizhals all showing price cuts; for example, the Ryzen 7 Pro 8700G is now being listed at $270 from B&H Photo and €263.80 over at Geizhals, both a considerable drop below their MSRP equivalents.
AMD Ryzen 7000, and possibly even the AMD Ryzen 8000 CPUs will get additional price cuts later this month as well with those discounts going live at or near the launch of the AMD Zen 5 “Nightvale” Desktop parts. This is going to add competition for existing high-end SKUs, and as a result, we are likely to see further price adjustments being made by the retailers.
