First Ryzen 7000-Series Pricing Posted by Canadian E-Tailer
For those of you that are eagerly awaiting the Ryzen 7000-series CPUs, details of the potential pricing has appeared over at Canadian e-tailer DirectDial. @momomo_us was first to post the details on Twitter, but didn't provide any details of who the e-tailer was, but some sleuthing using the AMD ordering codes soon brought us to DirectDial. The company has listed the all four expected CPU models with pricing and it appears that AMD has decided to stop providing coolers entirely, as none of the four upcoming CPUs appear to be available with a cooler in the box. All the model names ending WOF are retail packaged CPUs and the ones missing WOF at the end of the product number are tray CPUs from what we can tell.
As for the pricing, the Ryzen 5 7600X is listed at CA$435 or about US$340, with the Ryzen 7 7700X coming in at CA$631 or US$494. The Ryzen 9 7900X is CA$798/US$625 and finally the Ryzen 9 7950X is a steep CA$1158/US$907. @momomo_us also found some tray pricing from a different retailer and these CPUs are priced a few bucks cheaper, but we were unable to locate who the retailer is. Note that electronics and computer parts appear to be priced a fair bit higher in Canada than the US on average. As such, these prices should only be taken as an indication of what the retail price in Canada might end up being and not what the actual MSRP will land at, when AMD decides to launch these CPUs. Currently the retail date is expected to be on the 15th of September.
Update 10:49 UTC: The tray CPU retailer is PC-Canada.

based on your message you have a childish up "us vs them" mentality - BUYING EITHER PRODUCT WON'T SOLVE SHIT!!! they're businesses, not your friends, and the moment they have a clear upper hand over another business, they'll do shit that's typical for businesses
The retail 5900X is on their website for $800+. For comparison, I bought mine at full launch price for $759 in 2020. It's currently selling at $500 on the nose, not too far from original 5600X price. Comical pricing holds true for most other CPUs.
That said, I don't expect good news on the pricing front up north here. Not even considering touching AM5 until at least 6 months in.
2) Always, the brand new CPUs sell in retail with a mark-up for early adopters aka "sheeps". You need to w8 3-6 months for prices to normalize.
3) RPL will probably demolish ZEN 4 so sooner or later AMD will lower the prices, if they don't want to loose market share.
4) AL + DDR4 is a pretty good upgrade path if you don't want to pay premium for RPL / ZEN4
Ignoring early-adopter tax and other markup to fleece the impatient, I thought the rumoured MSRPs were lower than current 5000-series, now that Alder Lake has shown up and provided decent competition, with Raptor lake looking to keep the pressure on AMD.
These are dubiously low prices, but you can also pick up a 12400F for silly low prices and that raises the question of why you'd really need to spend more on a 5600/5600X/5700X/5800X
Pricing will be as good as placeholders; not real pricing so far.
And who cares. There's still a ton of CPU's to pick on the AM4 platform. From budget to high-end.
But don't look just at AMD. Intel's and Nvidia's pricing aren't any better. Nvidia was hoping for the crypto madness to keep going on, to sell RTX 3000 series with over 60% profit margins and continue doing so with RTX 4000. Intel started selling Alder Lake at reasonable prices, but that was easy because they where selling E cores and expensive chipsets at the same time. 500 for an 8 core is not something new considering that the top Alder Lake only offers 8 P cores and costs much more. The other 8 cores are E cores and I wouldn't put the same price on them as the one I put on P cores.
All companies are moving prices up and all companies are fighting for the top spot. None of the three is out of the race this period. Pure AMD is old news and the era where Intel and Nvidia funs where hopping a desperate AMD to produce second grade stuff, that will not threated their lovely Intel and Nvidia products, but at least will force those two companies to lower somewhat prices, is over.
Prices always start off high only question is how long it takes for amd to saturate the market and start to drop prices.
But advanced ordering is just stupid :laugh:
TPU desperately needs a rumors section for all the other click bait rumors stuff tagging as news is just wrong.
Intel owns 70% of CPU market and Nvidia owns 80% of the GPU market.
Those two dictate pricing, not AMD. Ask those two to lower pricing, not AMD.
AMD doesn't have unlimited capacity at TSMC. Even if it lowers pricing it wouldn't be able to keep it low, because demand will force prices up fast.
As for Intel at the Core 2 era and beyond, why increase pricing? They where selling the same product at different manufacturing nodes for over 5 years.
Is it AMD's MSRP? No. But it's an indicator of what some retailers/e-tailers think they can charge for these upcoming CPUs and it's the first and only real indicator we've had so far.
Yeah my bad for all the other rumors that make it in the news section.
With inflation/fuel hike + tsmc price hike + amds positioning as premium brand and how much they can sell these dies on the server side… these are actually still lower than I thought they would be.
none of these CPUs is going to improve your kill ratio. :P
Yeah I was just commenting from ZoneDymo's post and accidentally referred to this post as a rumor :o
