Do they still limit the apus m.2 lanes to x2?

When GN asked about availability, AMD answered: "no comment."

Don't expect to be able to casually buy those chips any time soon.

Are the Pro variants coming to retail?

July or August? Right! They are out already.

HP is already selling desktops with the 5700G through Office Depot. Unfortunately many sold out due to a $100 off coupon and scalpers pulling the CPU and selling them on eBay for more than what they paid for the tower.

A bunch of stuff that launched for OEMs a long time ago took a while to become available directly at retail. The joys of a capacity-constrained market, high-volume high-value low-maintenance customers get served first.

Nah. You lost me at "PCIe 3.0"

Considering how many devices actually make use of PCIe 4.0, is it really that much of a problem? Moreover it means that you can plug these chips in a B450 motherboard without feeling cheated in any way - perfect for that ITX / SFF system you built for your living room around a 2200G, and now you'd like to play games on it too...

It probably will in 2-3 years from now, especially if GPU prices stay high and 4GB GPUs are still the only ones remotely affordable new thanks to mining still being a thing. Going to need that full 4.0x16 to offset a fair chunk of the low-VRAM handicap.

in 3 years, the pandemic will have burnt out, the number of fabs producing high end chips will have doubled, and Etherium will have moved to a point that GPUs can't efficiently mine it. I also suspect that with the increase in Ransomware attacks, there will be some form of government crackdown on bitcoin ownership, not unlike the 1930's confiscation of gold. All of this will return GPU prices to normal by then

Maybe it will, maybe it won't. If crypto continues going up by the time Ethereum becomes unworkable on GPUs, miners will move their GPU farms to the next most viable crypto. The only thing that can stop this bottomless resource and energy pit is a global crypto coin ban.

Even with the ban though, it will likely take a couple of years for AMD and Nvidia to review their MSRPs down to normal market conditions assuming nothing else comes up to create the next demand boom and they don't decide that $100-200 over the pre-covid price points is the new normal.

I've been contemplating an upgrade for a while now. My i5-3570K is showing it's age a bit although is perfectly fine for the stuff I do. The Ryzen 5600X has been my general choice but I would prefer a straight 5600 or something like that and save a little money. The 5600G sounds like it might be a good fit. The lower cache and PCIe connectivity likely wouldn't be a huge issue for me. Although it's only $40 more for the X and that could be nice for potential future hardware. Will be interesting to see some actual reviews when they're in hand.

A couple of people on YT have purchased OEM systems to rip the 5600G out and put it in their normal benchmark rig for comparison and the 5600G is usually within 10% from the 5600X, so you are basically paying 10% less for 10% less performance, no PCIe 4.0 but you gain a decent IGP. Not too bad a trade if you aren't planning to get a dGPU.

Thanks. I do plan on using a dGPU. Probably just stick with my EVGA 950 for now until graphics cards become more reasonable. But still sticking with more mid-range level. I would be fine without the IGP but it's nice to have for when the system gets put through the rotation and ends up as a server or something where just basic graphics are needed so I don't need to waste space and power with a dGPU.
