AMD's Bristol Ridge Socket AM4 APU's have come into availability in Australia.
The fastest is the A12 9800 "Quad-Core" with a 3.8ghz base clock and 4.2ghz turbo clock, 512 GCN 1.3 GPU @ 1108mhz.
And seems to be a stupidly potent clocker.
The real kicker is that it is priced the same as Ryzen 3 1200 @ $149 AUD.
And IMHO is a great HTPC chip. - And should be capable of running most games at 720P.
The other Bristol Ridge chips fill in all the other price points under Ryzen 3, right down to the half-priced ($75 AUD) Dual-Core chip. (Eww.)
This is likely the answer to Intels Celeron and Pentium.
