AMD technically lowered the price of its new Ryzen 9000 CPUs, but the price you'll pay is a much different story.
Following up on reviews for the Ryzen 5 9600X and Ryzen 7 9700X, a flurry of reports are coming out about AMD ’s pricing for its new Zen 5 CPUs. Across the lineup, which is sure to earn some spots among the best processors, AMD reduced prices compared to the previous generation. That’s great. But it’s not exactly an accurate picture of pricing right now.

Privacy Policy If you recall, AMD’s last-gen CPUs weren’t super popular out of the gate. Despite being great performers, Intel’s Core i9-14900K arrived more than $100 cheaper than the Ryzen 9 7950X while offering similar performance.
It’s not surprising to see prices go down on last-gen components over time, but AMD’s last-gen CPUs almost immediately dropped below list price after releasing and have only gone down in price since then. The cut on list price for new Zen 5 CPUs is, more than anything, a more accurate reflection of what these CPUs are likely to sell for out of the gate.
