Buy as soon as possible: European retailers hoarding AMD Ryzen 5000 desktop CPUs

Ideally, the supply of Nvidia’s RTX 30 series graphics cards and AMD Ryzen 5000 desktop processors are expected to be eased when a new round of GPU/CPU is released.

However, in the face of practical factors such as rising tariffs and transportation costs, the price of electronic products, which should have been gradually reduced over time, may still have to wait until the second half of 2021.

If you really can’t wait to buy AMD Ryzen 5000 series desktop CPUs, and you happen to be in Europe, please pay attention to the availability of major retailers.

Tweakers.net just discovered that some European retailers are receiving a large number of Ryzen R5-5600X, R7-5800X, and R9-5950X CPUs.

Although the current price is slightly higher than the official recommendation, considering that the Ryzen 5000 series desktop processors can continue to use the cheap B450 series motherboards, and the performance is not much different than B550 / X570, the starting price of the board U package can still be considered.

As for the R9-5900X, AMD seems to be a little unpredictable for the demand for this model, so it may need to wait for a while before continuing to supply it.

Finally, although the prices of DRAM and SSD storage products have also seen a surge in recent times, with the increase in the supply of new-generation master control and NAND flash memory, the price of consumer-grade solid-state drives is still expected to drop by 15%.
