If you're considering one of the new Ryzen 8000 series of APUs, now is a good time to buy one.
AMD launched its new Ryzen 8000G series "Hawk Point" APUs earlier this year, based on the Zen 4 CPU architecture and RDNA 3 GPU architecture on the AM5 socket. AMD launched the Ryzen 7 8700G, Ryzen 5 8600G, and Ryzen 5 8500G APUs, now all discounted.
The flagship Ryzen 7 8700G APU has dropped to $299 from its original $329 price, while the Ryzen 5 8600G has dropped to $199 from $229, and finally, the Ryzen 5 8500G has dropped to $159 from $179. Not bad savings across the board there, especially if you were about to buy one of these Hawk Point APUs.
We're only a month away from AMD launching its next-generation Ryzen 9000 series desktop GPUs, but they'll lack high-performance integrated GPUs and the XDNA AI accelerator. Both of which the Ryzen 8000G series "Hawk Point" APUs include.
