Potential Ryzen 7000-series CPU Specs and Pricing Leak, Ryzen 9 7950X Expected to hit 5.7 GHz
It's pretty clear that we're getting very close to the launch of AMD's AM5 platform and the Ryzen 7000-series CPUs, with spec details and even pricing brackets tipping up online. Wccftech has posted what the publication believes will be the lineup we can expect to launch in just over a month's time, if rumours are to be believed. The base model is said to be the Ryzen 5 7600X, which the site claims will have a base clock of 4.7 GHz and a boost clock of 5.3 GHz. There's no change in processor core or thread count compared to the current Ryzen 5 5600X, but the L2 cache appears to have doubled, for a total of 38 MB of cache. This is followed by the Ryzen 7 7700X, which starts out a tad slower with a base clock of 4.5 GHz, but it has a slightly higher boost clock of 5.4 GHz. Likewise here, the core and thread count remains unchanged, while the L2 cache also gets a bump here for a total of 40 MB cache. Both these models are said to have a 105 W TDP.
The Ryzen 9 7900X is said to have a 4.7 GHz base clock and a 5.6 GHz boost clock, so a 200 MHz jump up from the Ryzen 7 7700X. This CPU has a total of 76 MB of cache. Finally the Ryzen 9 7950X is said to have the same base clock of 4.5 GHz as the Ryzen 7 7700X, but it has the highest boost clock of all the expected models at 5.7 GHz, while having a total of 80 MB cache. These two SKUs are both said to have a 170 W TDP. Price wise, from top to bottom, we might be looking at somewhere around US$700, US$600, US$300 and US$200, so it seems like AMD has adjusted its pricing downwards by around $100 on the low-end, with the Ryzen 7 part fitting the same price bracket as the Ryzen 7 5700X. The Ryzen 9 7900X seems to have had its price adjusted upwards slightly, while the Ryzen 9 7950X seems to be expected to be priced lower than its predecessors. Take these things with the right helping of scepticism for now, as things can still change before the launch.

Dropping the price by $100 subsidises the platform cost for new customers and increases AMDs AM5 marketshare which is probably very important for them when they are still producing AM4 CPUs that will work with the wide inventory of cheap, good, affordable AM4 boards and DDR4-3600.
They could use one of their monolithic APU to compete on that market, but AMD can't produce enough chips and want to make as much profits. They will allow capacity to higher margin chips before trying to compete on lower end CPU.
You better sell less product with higher margin than the opposite.
A lot of the cost of a CPU is offsetting the development cost, so if they sell many more CPUs at a lower price, the actual profit may actually increase.
Over here in SEA (which is obviously not? part of APAC), 67USD can get you 1 - 1.5 * 8GB DDR5 4800. We need to spend double that to get 2x8GB. I've looked at Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand and Philippines.
As for your pair of 16GB 6200 DDR5, since availability of niche stuff is rubbish over here, the cheapest one I've spotted in my home of Malaysia (not gonna lookup the other countries, too much hassle. Note that DDR5 4800 was the cheapest here in MY among other SEA markets from the comparison I made above.) are Corsair that retail for 360 USD.
And yes the above price are looking at the cheapest "Legit" prices, since there are alot of scam shops here may show lower prices.
Maybe if you wanted to represent "us" here in the APAC region you would not get lost and do a bit of research before posting on the internet. Its not that hard.
The thing is, when prices are starting to go down in one country in a region, usually most other places follow. So maybe wait a few weeks and prices will come down in your part of APAC as well.
Last gen is so good, only those who want several hundred fps at 1080p or similar need bother with AM5.
DDR5 6000+ kits cost this much CAD currently. Prices are indeed dropping but not there yet.
$459.99 CAD = 357.50 USD
i'm waiting for a gaming upgrade. Preferably the 7700X if the cost is reasonable (incl board and DDR5 memory), otherwise i'd be more than happy with a 7600X. At the speculated $200 the 7600X that sounds like a treat!!
Curious 7800X isn't mentioned. I wonder if they will only make the 7800X v-cache this time around. It would be pointless having a 7700X and a regular 7800X.
Replacing my 2700x with its ghetto pins would be great, but fortunately not something i need in a hurry
In my opinion that complicates simple arithmetic on how much frequency increase are we seing here.
The prices are very good and tempting. But I don’t know if my scenario comes true how the people react to that. Especially if the 13600K is all around performer and cheap enough.
Kudos to TEAM RED for staying as per their road map

Cheapest 5600 Mhz = 204€ ~ 208$
Cheapest 6000 Mhz = 243€ ~ 248$.
Even if you look at the cheapest 4800 Mhz kit, it's 148€ ~ 150$, not a big deal. You can try overclocking it a bit and getting better timings. Pretty good value.
I don't see a reason why these would be cheaper in Germany or the EU. If anything they are far away from where the RAM is produced, therefore higher shipping costs, there's import costs as well as 20% VAT increase on top of it.
