Weekly Weekending Deals: AMD Ryzen 5000

Worldwide chip shortage is causing prices to inflate on processors and graphics cards. But that doesn't mean reasonable-priced CPUs aren't out there, search hard enough, you'll find a processor that meets your budget. For example, I manage to find an AMD Ryzen 5000G for just $258.

For that price, you're getting a processor that has a 3.9GHz frequency core clock speed (4.4GHz Boost clock), six cores- 12 threads. This particular processor is suitable for high-level gaming if that's your primary intent.

Currently, the AMD Ryzen 5 5000G processor is listed on Amazon. Purchase while you can.
