GamingAMD's Ryzen 4000 CPU series has arrived, sort of

AMD have announced the first batch of processors in their upcoming Ryzen 4000 family of desktop CPUs today, but you’re going to have to wait a while before they’re available to buy as standalone chips. Instead, the six APUs making up AMD’s Ryzen 4000 G-series (the ones with built-in Radeon graphics, in case you’ve forgotten) will only be available in pre-built PCs initially, with a full launch for enthusiast buyers to take place at a later date.

Alas, AMD weren’t able to provide an exact date for when these APUs would be available to buy separately so existing users can slot them into AMD’s existing 400 and 500-series motherboards, but with APUs ranging all the way from entry-level Ryzen 3 chips right up to powerful Ryzen 7s, the Ryzen 4000 G-Series is definitely worth keeping an eye on if you’re a budget PC builder.
