AMD Ryzen Threadripper 1900X Starts Selling in India
AMD's third Ryzen Threadripper series HEDT processor SKU, the Threadripper 1900X, started selling in India, ahead of its 31st August scheduled availability. Listed on the country's leading online PC hardware store PrimeABGB, the Threadripper 1900X is priced at INR 45,699. While this price roughly converts to USD $715, which is way above the $549 MSRP announced by AMD, it's important to note that in India the retailer margins and taxes on PC hardware tend to be very high. The same retailer, considered by PC enthusiasts in India as having some of the lowest prices, lists the Threadripper 1920X at INR 65,488 ($1,024), and the Threadripper 1950X at INR 82,008 ($1,283).
The PrimeABGB listing also indicates that the 8-core/16-thread Threadripper 1900X features 16 MB of L3 cache, as opposed to 32 MB on the 1920X and 1950X. This could mean that AMD is configuring the two "Summit Ridge" dies on the 1900X in a 2+2+2+2 CCX configuration, with 4 MB of L3 cache per CCX, just like on the Ryzen 5 1400. The chip still features a quad-channel DDR4 memory interface, and 64-lane PCIe. It is priced between the $390 6-core/12-thread Core i7-7800X and $590 i7-7820X.

while their argument to stay overpriced are beginning to stretch thin...
Its also interesting comparing prices around the world.
And the claim that Intel has "better control on the entire chain" again reflects upon the earlier assumption that only AMD has a mark up which again, Intel has as well so no they do not have better control of the entire chain if you take this article as proof (and seeing as your comment is made in regards to this article it is the source of your claim).
i'm in the lower part .... for a Swiss :p but i'm fine ... sweet second hand deals (when people don't go balistic over a brand ... gosh anything Intel or Nvidia goes for retail price even in second hand :laugh: ) monthly payment isn't a big issue ... kinda like a car leasing ... except i don't have a car nor drivers license :oops:, so i can put my money on more hardware. :peace:

Just compared my new 7820x with mild oc to my old 1800x with 4 months of OCing and tweaking - not even close... like 1080 vs 1080ti.
a) the possibility that retailers are responsible for the jacked up prices
b) the fact that Intel has much better control over their entire chain, they also own their FAB
Also this isn't the article I;m basing any assumptions on ~
So the 1700 is as expensive as the 7700k, absolutely not! You can see prices going down for newly launched parts, after a while, but Zen isn;t getting cheaper.
The 7900x can also be had for 4k less, even cheaper offline ~ www.vedantcomputers.com/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=910
Yeah idk that the 1900x was a thing - now that it's selling in india and all, i am a bit confused - I mean a 1700 would match/beat it in most things thanks to less latency for $290..
And yes - i just switched to the 7820x and it does generally crush the 1800x.
