I bought a few AMD Ryzen 5 5600G processors recently (upgrading customers' computers so they're textbook-compatible with Win11), for about £150 UKP each. Suddenly they're £273 each.
I saw this a while ago when I was flirting with a platform upgrade, I made a note of the 5700X's price at about £220, then suddenly it was £270 and now it's £307. Is something squirrelly going on with supply worldwide or is this a UK economy thing? I've seen a few price rises lately but nothing as erratic as AMD Ryzen 5xxx prices.
