AMD Ryzen 7 7700X Drops Down to $294.99

The AMD Ryzen 7 7700X has been discounted down to $294.99 in the US, which actually makes it less expensive than the Ryzen 7 7700 (non-X). Since it launched at $399.99 and later pushed down to $329.99, the latest discount makes it quite a catch. In Europe, the price is still holding at around €320, depending on the region, although it has been seen at €309 earlier.

The AMD Ryzen 7 7700X is an 8-core/16-thread Zen 4 CPU with 40 MB of cache and a 105 W TDP. It works at 4.5 GHz base and 5.4 GHz Turbo clocks. As spotted by Videocardz, the discount was available on both Amazon and Newegg but the one on Amazon has either been removed or ended and now holds at $339. It is possible that it was a limited deal coming directly from AMD. The next step is the Ryzen 7 7800X3D, but the price has not budged from $449.

Makes sense as the 7700 is a more efficient chip and performs basically identical to the 7700X.

7700 has some fantastic basics in its favour - 5.3GHz boost for a 8/16 chip & 65w TDP is pretty damm hard to beat! :rockout:

They're clearly trying to get rid of stock CPUs at a good price before the Raptor Lake Refresh comes out, because when that happens the prices will have to be dropped a lot more..

€320 in EU means €350-380 once you include VAT. Just to show how we read MSRPs over here ;)

The 7700X has been 300 since mid february and dropped to 290 since the start of April in NL (and Belgium) which is about 260USD ex tax.

Really odd as the 7700 has been around 350 since release and not moved at all, terrible value.

I tend to always put those European prices with VAT, so it is €320 with VAT or about €260 exc. VAT in Germany (19% tax) as you can see on Mindfactory link.

But it was done:

www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/products/sku/230498/intel-core-i913900t-processor-36m-cache-up-to-5-30-ghz/specifications.html

Maximum turbo power at 106W isn't too far off from 65W-spec AMD CPUs (I believe PPT for them is 88W? unless this changed in socket AM5), but it is a 24/32 otherwise fully enabled RPL chip.

I believe Intel "T" are OEM only, mostly for AIO systems, and that one should be on a completely different price point than the Ryzen 7700.

Indeed, but such a processor does exist. Intel sells their 65W spec as a suffixless model in box, it's just called i9-13900 :)

There's a cheaper i7-13700 variant that should fit more or less in line with the pricing on the 7700, but it's a 16/24 configuration.

How do you add VAT? It varies from country to country, just like the sales tax varies from one state to another.
The difference being sales tax is up to ~10%, whereas VAT starts at ~10%.

But yeah, €260 MSRP is way better than what I thought was €320.

Honestly crazy that these price differences are still so significant.
Using a package forwarding service starts to become feasible at these prices...

No, because of import fees.

Too bad there are zero reviews of the high-end non-K series. I suspect they're probably the processors most people should be buying.

I wanted to buy a 7700 because of the lower TDP (for in mini-itx system). But then I saw that the 7700x was €50+ cheaper than a 7700 (here in Europe) + a free game. I went with the 7700x and just turned down the tdp and stuff down in the bios. Works flawlessly. I basically got a 7700 for cheaper and it still has extra performance headroom if I ever want it in the future.

Around here the 13700 (~410€) is slightly more expensive than the KF version and the 13900 (~650€) is more expensive than the 13900K (~590€).
The 7700 is ~340 and the 7700X ~325€.

Sometimes sellers order more stock than they can move, prices go down, but they stick to the initial prices, hoping they will find enough clueless buyers so they don't sell at a loss.

On the upside Z790 boards are cheaper and the risk of self-immolation or ignition is substantially lower :)

Prices in Europe always include taxes, It's mandatory by law. 19% in Germany. 21% in Spain.

(309 / 1.19) / 0.9 = $288

When making EU-vs-others price comparisons, Germany is often taken as a reference simply because it's the largest economy. In the next four largest (FR, IT, ES, NL), the VAT rate is quite close, up to 22%.

HARD PASS. This is again an example of the entire setup that has NO real true value vs performance.

Why in hell am I going to buy this when this CPU + MB + 64GB DDR5@ CL 30 @6200 is going to cost me +$300.00 w tax/ship when my 5900OEM (that performs like a 5900XT with lower temp) is comparable in performance (mostly around minus 5/10+% for the 5900OEM setup) ?

When they drop $50+ dollars minimum on their motherboards is when people can start talking.

But AMD won't. And this is one of the reason why I DO NOT like Dr. Lisa Su.
