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.

Locked Non-K CPU Overclocking, i3-12100, i5-12400 & i7-12700 - YouTube
BCLK overclocking was originally possible only on Asus z690 Maximus Apex board, which indeed costs $600 (and was therefore mostly just a gimmick at the time) Open Box: ASUS ROG Maximus Z690 Apex (WiFi 6E) LGA 1700 (Intel 12th Gen) ATX Gaming Motherboard (PCIe 5.0, DDR5, 24+0 Power Stages, DDR5, 5x M.2, 1x PCIe 5.0 M.2, PCIe 5.0 Hyper M.2 Card Bundled) - Newegg.com
But this hasn't been a case for over 6 months now ever since the two B660 boards that I already linked above got released.
The butthurt will continue as AMD fans, most of whom became fans because AMD catered to the low end value buy with the 3600/3600X, realize that not only will the new AMD CPUs cost more than the competition, the motherboards will as well.

And then there's DDR5..
And that is basically a low end motherboard, lowest of the enthusiast CPUs, and midrange DDR5.
You can actually get a 12900K with a high end MSI MAG Carbon Z690 Wifi + DDR5 for a similar price right now.
AMD is a business. They're there to make money. They aren't trying to save PC's or PC gaming or whatever.
And they want money and they've been playing the same game to make money as Nvidia and Intel. They've just been traditionally worse at playing until recently and the better they get, the more like Nvidia and Intel they will appear to be because their longterm goal is to make money just like them.
Buy the best deal and be glad for it. Companies are like King Kong vs Godzilla. And we're the little people, the ants, trying to dodge their poop and get their scales/fur to get .5 extra frames in Cyberpunk.
There was never really a 'Team Blue', just some belated reactions from Intel. AMD is much better than Intel in that marketing area. And that is the real true answer.

This is what reportedly happened after launching these brand partisans into social media. If there is anything that proves the common person is incapable of thinking for themselves, this is it.
AMD absolutely sucked back then (2015) and yet :

That is true, both companies are a business and in it for the same reason, namely to make money.
Neither gives a crap about you and your needs, they just make what they make and if it's good for you then you buy it - It's that simple.
I run both and neither shows anything to make me want to stick with one or the other, ATM I'm mainly doing AMD/Ryzen for stuff in general and it's OK.
Does what I want it to and that's all I'm wanting from it, no one else's needs applies here.
Recently swapped out my 7700K/Maximus IX Apex from daily duties and popped an AM3 in place running a 555 BE and a Crosshair V-Z with 8GB's of RAM - Before that I had a Socket 939 with a Opteron 180 running 4GB's of DDR and it did rather well, almost as good as the 7700K setup was doing for web browsing and playing videos at least. Was curious how it would do with things on the web as they are now vs what was before when it came out, I was suprised how well it got the job done.
I'm always swapping stuff around anyway so that's what I do and how I do it when I get bored.
As for 7000 series pricing, it's still too early to say where these will finally land price-wise and even now it's all nothing more than speculation at this point, arguing about it here ain't gonna determine a damn thing about it there.

"However, let’s now look closely at what AMD says about their Advocate program. The people who are asked to sign up are already fans, attending AMD’s Technograffiti event. Here they are offered an AMD product in exchange for blogging about it, using twitter, or talking about it on other social media such as on a tech forum. We don’t see any requirement that these fans make clear to their readers that the hardware is in exchange for their advocacy. "
But these days AMD doesn't need to do that so much, they have people like you for example who apparently thinks this is perfectly a-ok...
So this suggests (just an indication) same or very similar prices with the 5000 models.(so in complete contrast with the previous rumors)
I really can't understand headlines like Tom's hardware or many other sites, they didn't even devoted 1 minute to check the prices for the old models.
Just out of curiosity, does anyone knows how much these reporters are earning per month?
[SIZE=4]Ryzen 7000 Retailer Pricing Shows Big Hike Over Ryzen 5000 (10% to 12% more expensive than the current Ryzen 5000 pricing)[/SIZE]
Only DDR5 seems stupid to me, especially like you said going for cheaper RAM is a waste of money because you lose performance, it's like buying porsche and mixing water with the fuel, and DD5 6000 is still stupidly expensive.
CPU's could be a bit less expensive for sure.
If Intel plays it right they can beat price performance yet again.
In a positive AMD scenario, imo 13600K/KF will be 1-2% slower than 7700X in 1080p gaming and 1-2% faster in multithreading apps like CB23 so very similar.(for those who wondering about gaming difference, the assumption is that while 5800X3D was just 11.9% faster on average in 720p vs 5800X (less in 1080p), (105W/142W) 7700X will be 20% faster than (105W/142W) 5800X (720p) and 12600K/KF will be only 10% slower than 13600K/KF (720p), this assumption gives the above difference)
12600K/KF was $289/$264, let's say Intel will increase 10-11% the prices at $319/$294 for 13600K/KF.
If I'm right for the performance and pricing, how is it possible for 7700X to sell at $400 (nevermind $450).
It won't be able to sell even at $350...
And i don't even examine M/B and DDR4 options...
