Updates on the Ryzen 5000 APU launch dates are currently unavailable.
No details are available regarding the release timeline for an AMD Ryzen 5000 APU. Any known updates appear outdated, possibly from a few months prior. It seems this information is more relevant to mobile components rather than desktop hardware. Those using Ryzen 3200G or 3400G systems are currently limited, as integrated graphics serve as a temporary solution for many users.
Nothing I see either but you may want to try to snag this thing... 8c/16t + GPU = goodness! https://www.amd.com/en/products/apu/amd-ryzen-7-4700g
It's an OEM part, so you might locate it on eBay or AliExpress, though the cost could be quite high.
Even though it's OEM-only, if AMD doesn't introduce a socket AM4 beyond the 3000 series APUs, then well... It would be great if we could get a 5000 series model and the graphics wouldn't use Vega but Navi. Think of it as the most affordable way to equip a PC with the power of the newest consoles.
Revisiting this topic to refresh the discussion. I’ve been checking online sources, but it looks like the Ryzen 5000 APU isn’t showing up anywhere. Only occasional hints appear. No concrete updates so far.
It could take some time. Each generation of APUs arrived roughly 10-15 months after their CPU counterparts. We should look at the X600 (both X and non-X Ryzen CPUs) alongside the entry-level Ryzen xx00G APUs—those being the first CPUs and APUs for each architecture. The Zen series started with the 1600 in April 2017, followed by the 2200G in February 2018, then the 2600 in April 2018, the 3200G in July 2019, the 3600 in July 2019, and the 4300G in July 2020. The Zen 3 series began with the 5600X last month, though no official info exists for non-X models or the Zen 3 APUs beyond a vague 2021 target. Intel’s APU releases tend to follow their CPU schedule, often with iGPUs only after the next CPU release. Based on past trends, we might be waiting about a year. AMD seems to need improvement here. On the other side, Intel’s current APUs usually arrive a bit later—especially when they pair CPUs with iGPUs, which started appearing in the 9th generation. For basic tasks like office work or streaming, Intel CPUs are sufficient and widely available. I plan to upgrade my HTPC next August, around 11 years from now. If Zen 3 APUs aren’t in stock, I might consider switching to Intel, mainly for SGX support for 4K Blu-Ray and because the extra cost is minimal compared to what I’d expect. I’d prefer an AMD build if possible, but I’m open to details—especially if nothing comes out by summer.
