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.

Think asus cut their own throats with newer rog series boards
Only decent priced apex was z490 then things got really stupid overpriced even the cheap hero.
You wanna play, you're gonna pay and boards are no exception.
I've got several high-end boards myself, some midrange ones and some of the low end ones too, considering what I do as a hobby with all this I should know.
Pricing is insane at times for stuff, that's when knowing what to look for, features and so on makes a real difference instead of just picking up some random board because the price tag is higher.
A board being more expensive doesn't always mean it's better. ;)
I've toasted more prime deluxe and tuf x299 boards than I can count
Only one that has lived to date is x299 apex very cheap off ebay of all places
z490 apex is doing pretty well to my oldest board i have is x99 sabertooth still alive and kicking this was my first build 6+- years ago.
And then the perf crown is in AMDs hands for sure which, realistically it already is at every sane place in the current stack and also on the top end for gaming, with current gen X3D.
None of these comparisons really show clear cut winners. And we can rest assured pricing will reflect that. You basically say as much and i agree, there are no charity chipmakers.
As always... wait and see mode will be best. The competition is close enough that local pricing will dictate the best options...
