AMD Announces $55 Athlon

[ShrimpBrime]

Quoted text.

AMD is keeping the 20-year legacy of the Athlon brand alive with its new Athlon 200GE processors that come armed with Radeon Vega 3 graphics. AMD is bringing the new dual-core, four-thread Athlon 200G processor to market on Sept 8 for a mere $55. But it will be joined by beefier 220GE and 240GE processors in Q4 2018.

Article has been taken down.
Due to the turmoil currently at Tom's, and it being Tom's, I tend to not believe it.
Need to see it from a reputable site.

Your welcome i thought it was crazy too til I found the AMD article $55 dual core is crazy cheap

[Shadyreaper]

One bad thing I just read no OC with them

I would be surprised if those couldn't be oced by boards with clockgens...

And I'm sitting here hoping the 220GE or 240GE will be triple cores...

Wonder if these Athlons are soldered? So low wattage, can't imagine AMD would do so.

Other APUs (2200G, 2400G) aren't soldered either, but the paste seems better then intel. These should be pasted too.

I didnt know the apu line up was noy soldered. Thanks for that info!
