Deal of the day: AMD Ryzen 5 8600G falls below 200

Below the threshold.

AMD Ryzen 7 8700G is still currently on sale for £279.98 / $299 and is, without a doubt, the best APU money can buy right now. If your budget doesn’t quite stretch that far, then don’t fret, as its little brother is another option that’s currently cheaper than ever.

Released at the start of the year, it’s surprising to see AMD Ryzen 5 8600G slip beneath £200 with a 6% discount. There’s a similar deal across the pond, as the same APU is $199 in the US. And, as you might’ve guessed, it’s under €200 in some European countries, like Italy and Germany.

Based on Zen 4 architecture, AMD Ryzen 5 8600G packs six CPU cores, 12 threads, and a 16MB L3 cache. The max boost clock of up to 5GHz is even more impressive, considering this is a lean 65W chip. Ample performance, but without a large power overhead.

The star of the show the built-in Radeon 760M, which handles 1080p gaming without breaking a sweat. Of course, iGPUs don’t compare to the best graphics cards, but you’re looking at over 60fps on Far Cry 6 and triple digits in older competitive games that rely on high frame rates, like Dota 2 or CS2. Enable Hyper-RX, and you’ll squeeze even more out.

With this deal sitting on Amazon, you benefit from the storefront’s relaxed returns policy. This is a 30-day guarantee that gives you a full refund if you send the item back within a month. Since this even applies to CPUs slathered in thermal paste, you can try it out for yourself. Perhaps just give it a wipe first.
