The first preorders for AMD Ryzen 9000 CPUs are now open, giving us a glimpse into the pricing of these processors. It's both good and bad news.
AMD ’s Ryzen 9000 processors are right around the corner, set to launch this month — and we just got our first hint about how much they might cost. An early preorder from a Slovenian retailer revealed the pricing for all four Zen 5 desktop chips. On the whole, it’s good news. AMD appears to be doing something that hardly ever happens by keeping the prices lower than they were at the launch of Zen 4. However, that doesn’t mean that buying the new processors will save you money.
Recommended Videos This is an unexpected development. Compared to the launch prices for the Ryzen 7000 in Europe, AMD is offering some sizeable price cuts. The Ryzen 7 7950X launched at 850 euros; the Ryzen 9 7900X — at 670 euros; the Ryzen 7 7700X cost 480 euros, and the Ryzen 5 7600X — 360 euros. That’s a massive difference, with the flagship being a whopping 190 euros cheaper than it was in the previous generation.
A price cut of this size is pretty unprecedented, and it shows that AMD is paying attention. Ryzen 7000 processors were expensive at launch and quickly received multiple price cuts. Now, the Ryzen 9 7950X costs around $595, while the 7950X3D is priced at $650. This is the bad part of the news.
