It depends. If you're truly performance insensitive and have to buy new, maybe, but these APUs are extremely slow compared to even older, low end discrete GPUs.
AM5 is an expensive platform. The total cost of a DDR4 platform is peanuts in comparison.
- toast0 3y agoThe cpus are currently significantly more expensive, yes, but is the AM5 platform that much more expensive than AM4? On AM4, pcpartpicker says I can get an A520M board for $70, and 2x16GB DDR4-3600 CL18 for $55; total $125 On AM5, an A620M board is $75, and 2x16GB DDR5-5600 starts at $76; total $151. The real question is where the Microcenter bundle pricing will end up, if you live near a Microcenter.
- brucethemoose2 3y agoMmm, A620 has come down considerably since I last checked. That's good.
