Great information certainly. Thanks, Newegg, for being so considerate, regardless of the very fact the Ryzen 5 2400G’s value was by no means $189.99 to start with and has solely ever been referred to as costing $169. Good on you.
Anyway, it will seem Newegg have lastly bought their home so as now, because the Ryzen three 2200G and Ryzen 5 2400G are certainly at present listed at $99 and $169. For now, anyway. Alas, anybody seeking to keep away from Newegg altogether are out of luck for the time being, because the Ryzen three 2200G is at present out of inventory on Amazon and inventory of the Ryzen 5 2400G isn’t due in until February 17th.
Fortunately, UK inventory appears to be extra plentiful, with each Ryzen Vega APUs available on Amazon for his or her correct costs (£90 and £150 respectively), in addition to locations like Scan, Overclockers and Novatech (who’re really promoting the Ryzen 5 2400G for simply £148.30, it seems, so seize one whilst you can).
