The preliminary prices of AMD's upcoming Ryzen 8000G AM5, Ryzen 5000X3D & Ryzen 5000 AM4 Desktop CPUs have been revealed by Momomo_US.

According to Momomo_US, the prices come from three US-based retailers and vary a lot so we will use the lowest reported prices since those are the ones that are going to be the closest to the retail MSRPs. With that said, these are still preliminary figures and we can expect them to change a lot by the time these CPUs & APUs hit store shelves. What is interesting is that all Ryzen 8000 and Ryzen 5000 chips fall under the $350 US price range which shows that AMD is ready to tackle Intel's entry-level and mainstream market in a big way.

So coming straight to the numbers, we have the following preliminary prices from US retailers:

So coming to the specifications, the AMD Ryzen 8000G APUs will be available in both PRO and Non-PRO flavors which share identical specifications. The flagship SKU is going to be the Ryzen 7 8700G which would offer 8 cores, 16 threads, a base clock of 4.2 GHz, and a boost clock of 5.1 GHz. There's also the Ryzen 5 8600G APU which features 6 cores, 12 threads, a base clock of 4.35 GHz & a boost clock of 5.0 GHz. Both of these APUs will be based on the Phoenix 1 die and feature support for OC.

At $340 & $240 US preliminary prices, these look to be decent options for AM5 users as the Ryzen 7 7700 and Ryzen 5 7600 chips cost around the same price range. With these APUs, you are getting a very capable iGPU and we expect final prices to be closer to the $300 & $200 US range. For Ryzen 5 8500G, the price is listed at sub-$200 US levels at $190 which makes it a nice 6-core offering and we can also expect it closer to the $179 US figure which should put it against the Core
