The 3 series are only offering a 100mhz increase in clock, nice to have but since they will almost certainly be more expensive then I couldn’t see a point in not buying the 2400G when it is probably discounted as far as it can go. In the UK it launched at £175 I think, now it is down to £118. Any lower than that and they won’t be able to sell the 2200G and the Athlon GEs so I can’t see vendors discounting more. The same thing happened with the 1600 and I was slow to buy and now it is sold through, it went down to £120 which was a great price compared to the competition. I’m now eying up the remainder of the Ryzen range that is sub-£200 to see what is best value/worth buying. I’m still alive and there’s hopefully a few more ITX builds in me yet.Those Ryzen 3 series (Zen2) look great but I don’t think it makes the series 1 or 2 chips bad chips- the 1600 was a good chip with a good TDP. Obviously if the mythic Ryzen 3600G comes along we'll all be buying it.I realise markets may be different pricing wise.
