      Just a friendly update.

      I've been eyeing this on ebay for the last 4 hours while looking up reviews/specs and it's gone "sold-out" three times now (cue mini heart attack).

      But each time after about 5-10 minutes it'll miraculously re-list with "only 5 available", again.

      So don't feel too pressured into buying just because there is "5 left".

      P.S. It's also listed on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com.au/AMD-Ryzen-5600G-12-Thread-Processo…

    • Seems to also be in the spend and save (at least the one I've got) which takes $15 off it making it $167.

      • Nice!
        Covers a bit more than delivery costs, so free postage and $2 off.
        That's better than the official store website.

  • I'm glad to see supply has finally returned to the market.

    12 months ago I was scrounging for an entry-level ryzen, the best I could manage then was a second hand 3600 for $250.

  • Anyone have an opinion if there is a reason to upgrade from a 3400G for a Plex server?

      3400G has Vega 11 iGPU vs. Vega 7 on the 5600g, but then I believe the clocks are higher on the 5600g. Wouldn't really make any difference for Plex though anyway. 5600g has 2 more cores, 4 more threads. Also once again higher clocks as well as newer cores and process node. Also not likely to make much of a difference with Plex though, unless you were software transcoding multiple streams. 5600g should definitely be more efficient, but that's about it.

      • Thanks for that, mainly just Plex server and some email and word processing use.
        Never had any slow down streaming multiple 4k files, probably not even using transcoding.

      • I upgraded from 3400g to 5700g, really depends, the Vega in these is better than what was in the 3400g, despite the naming it’s better https://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/amd-ryzen-5-5600g-revie… but it’s not night and day difference, what is the benefit is 5000 has a more competent cpu

    any cheap miniITX boards for this one?

    MSY have also dropped their price.

  • So based on all these deals popping up for $169 - $189* , it seems like there's no need to rush into a purchase.

    Guess we can hold out for the Black Friday & Christmas sales.

    *Note: depending on whether postage is 'free' or an additional cost

    E.g. Scorptec Website $169 + ($12 to $16) postage vs Scorptec Ebay $182 + 'free' postage.

  • Umart have now also followed suit.
