What are these retailing at? $85 or so? That's such a sweet deal, honestly, an incredible heart of a budget gaming PC. R5 1600 AF MSI Tomahawk B450 board 16gb 3200mhz ram Nvidia 1660 super All that for £525. That's insane value for money. Just wow. This would run pretty much everything you throw at it at 1080p, no problem. Fair play AMD. Just wow.

Gamers Nexus did a review of it. Wont post a link here but they called it the 1600 AF. AMD should have called them Ryzen 5 2300x or something. But i guess that would have been confusing with the g models.
It would have made no sense to call it an R5 2300x, when it's so close in performance to the R5 2600... R5 2600LE would have made more sense. It's within 5% or so of the R5 2600.....

Only place I've found it so far is Amazon.com....and the listing price is $85 with free shipping. Don't know how that will translate to where you are though. Link below.... https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07XTQZJ28?pf_rd_p=ab873d20-a0ca-439b-ac45-cd78f07a84d8&pf_rd_r=JRQ7N1P5VC7DMQHA81ED Upon further searching, it seems the 1600AF is going for $145+ at most e-tailers I could find it at in a quick 30sec search. Amazon is the only site listing at $85.

Just looked on Amazon UK and no sign of these 1600. The 2600 is £115 on prime so that's already a good deal. Just looked... yeah these are not available anywhere in the UK. Found one of the AE 1600 and that was £111. Seems like these will be barely available.

I only found 4 sites in the US offering them. Amazon, ProVantage, TigerDirect and 1 other that I can't remember and am too lazy to go find again. So yeah, availability definitely seems limited. AMD doesn't even list them on their own site....lol

Just to up, a friend's shop have pass command of one for a customer and recieved the box with "Ryzen 5 1600AF" on it so it's a new name and not only a new ref, It seem to work nearly as a 2600 but for 40 Euro less, mean the same price than a 2200G that have only 4c/4t.
