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.

Then comper it to last 5000 gen and Intel's 12 and 13.
Because of the new AM5, cpu cost alone is indication of nothing.
However exceeding the limitation of 8 P-cores with E-cores does very little for single/lightly threaded tasks and gaming on the desktop. Intel also had to remove/disable AVX-512 to fit everything in the BIG.little monolithic chip power envelop.
So its difficult to look at anyone being stuck at number of cores these days.
List prices in Canada typically are without the sales tax. In Ontario it's 13%, sometimes there is an e-waste fee also.
I'll wait until Canada Computers list the cpu the pricing should be more accurate.
This is a classic marketing trick. You can also see it often in politics.
Also, the guy is stating that the limit of 8 P cores is doing nothing for single thread and gaming, which is a blatant lie, as Alder Lake improved massively on both compared to previous architectures. This lack of quite basic understanding coming from (supposed) staff members (Mussels is the primary offender in this regard) is really rather worrying... :rolleyes:

In Europe, it's apparently even (much) cheaper:

And in a couple weeks there will be a sub $200 Msi Mortar available, using ddr4:

Try that perspective for a change ;) Its much more enjoyable. When was that? Prior to 2014 surely...
I honestly have a different impression, I think TPU's in a pretty good spot right now. Common sense reigns supreme in news articles here. Its not up everyone's alley, I guess... but its much better than regurgitating a press release a few dozen times per day.
The 5600x was an exception, with all previous models being 95w, with the non-X being 65w.
Its your interpretation after all... not mine. I read it as an obvious joke. Reason: I dont give a rat's ass about team red, green or blue. All I want is decent product at competitive price. And that is my point; join that club instead of trying to find opposition, because you will always find it if you look for it.
I honestly believe TPU is not really AMD or Intel minded at all. There are a few (rabid...) fans on either side and the vast majority doesnt care just like me. Core counts should stagnate. It was logical in the quad core days and it makes sense today, I think the consensus has landed on 8 cores for the mainstream stack. Which is fine, right? I dont need more... A good CPU finds optimal balance between core count (MT) and ST.
Fact is though the P/E core design does add a few % perf for gaming apparently, whereas more cores on AMD do not. It is a mistake to discount that advantage, there is something to be had from big little.
