I kept checking the website daily to ensure that the ETA was consistent — I even emailed the company to confirm the dates. When the second processor was expected to go into stock, I loaded up my basket to see the Ryzen 3 Pro G was no longer there. I moved on over to the product page, where it was listed as in stock, but the add-to-basket button had been disabled.
I was somewhat confused as to what was going on — perhaps AMD had asked them to stop selling the hardware direct to consumers, and to only use it for pre-built systems?
I have no idea as to the real reason, but what comes next was an interesting element of trickery. I found the stock item for the Ryzen 3, and adjusted the add-to-basket button of the Threadripper X to point to the Ryzen 3.
I had a Ryzen 3 Pro G in my basket. I put in the order, no issues there, and off it went. It arrived next day, and the stock count listed on the website went down by one.
The add-to-basket button was still disabled, and I wondered if the retailer had just suspected that I had one in my basket all along and just went along with it. So a week later the Ryzen 7 Pro G was expected to be in stock. Again, I was checking it daily to see the ETA slowly count down.
The day when the stock was supposed to arrive, the whole product page had vanished. All the product pages for the Ryzen APUs had vanished. What in the world was going on? I decided to put my previous plan into action a second time — could I modify the add-to-basket product ID to point to the Ryzen 7 Pro G to get it in the basket? It took about 10 minutes, and I added a wide variety of processors to my basket, but I did finally get the G in there.
It was listed as in stock, for next day delivery. I clicked purchase, handed over my details, and it arrived the next day. There was no questioning from the retailer as to how I put in an order. Clearly a sale is a sale, right? The hardware has been out long enough now that there are a number of third-party sellers on leading etailers offering these APUs at a variety of prices. These sellers seem to be focused in the Hong Kong region, which means warranty might be an issue, and shipping import taxes might be a part of bringing it into your country.
Some of the sellers have dodgy ratings too. But they are out there, in larger numbers than before. As mentioned, AMD launched twelve desktop Ryzen processors in the family. In each set of three was a Ryzen 7, a Ryzen 5, and a Ryzen 3. AMD is covering all the bases with these parts. The top of the line is the Ryzen 7 G, with eight Zen 2 cores, sixteen threads, and Vega 8 graphics.
This processor has a base frequency of 3. This is a substantial graphics frequency jump over the previous generation halo desktop APU, which ran Vega 11 graphics only at MHz. AMD puts this down to both the advantages of 7nm, but also physical design optimizations of the Vega graphics, providing a better gen-on-gen improvement than expected, which also enables a smaller graphics package which is better fed by the Zen 2 cores.
