AMD Ryzen 7 7700X Price Trimmed to $299
In the wake of its Ryzen 7000X3D series announcement, AMD cut the price of its Ryzen 7 7700X 8-core/16-thread "Zen 4" processor. The Ryzen 7000X3D series is available from February 28, however, the 8-core 7800X3D will only be available from April 6. Despite this, sales prospects of the 7700X could be affected, as the SKU faces cannibalization not just from the 7800X3D, but also the recently launched 65 W Ryzen 7 7700, which has shown decent overclocking potential with motherboard-level power limit unlocks. What's interesting is that the 105 W 7700X at $299 puts it below the 65 W 7700 that launched at $325, which means that the 7700 could get even cheaper. This series of price-cuts and SKU re-positioning could make AMD competitive against Intel's 13th Gen Core i5 SKUs such as the i5-13600 and i5-13500 6P+8E models.

IMHO The entire PC setup is TOO expensive for what you get over the past generation.
Secondly, people do not have the money to spend so they are NOT buying product.
I know exactly the business practice this company is doing because I've seen this before in other companies.
The only way to punish these companies is to NOT spend any money on their crap.
Again IMHO I am not getting any real Price vs Performance vs Value over the pervious generations of components and I am not going spend my money on these overall low performance increases. I am not Running a Microwave for my business in my work room just to get a few more seconds of content editing and/or a few FPS more in games.
Forget it. I just closed my wallet.
It is my humble opinion is to just wait on getting anything new. Because IMHO in AMD case they are up to something again and it is not going to be in the consumer's favor.
It will be better if you just stayed with your current generation of tech and if you need to buy something look at your options of buying 2021 and slightly newer tech.
Below you have top chipset manufacturers. AMD is not even listed.

Sure if you've got a 4090 and want 120fps+.
Casual gaming at 60 to 120 FPS, Even a near 10 year old 4790k does the job for me with a 6800xt.
and TPU review for 6800 XT
and 4070 ti's for comparison. much colder hotspots. any more questions? or is class dismissed?
edit: and AMD intiially said 100+ celsius was normal for 7900 xtx, but they have since backtracked lol.
I still have a low end 4th gen i3 with ECC memory I use for a XP gaming pc and there it works fine, and I owned several CPU's since my own i7-4790K so I haven't felt the uplift much but you will if you change.
If I had a 4090 I'd notice a difference. Though also need 144hz+ 4k screen also or pretty pointless.
Never knew intel made mother boards :eek:
If you bought last generation components, and are a normal dude/dudete weva.
It's not worth upgrading one generation later.
I see plenty of options cheap to expensive, has it been better yes sure, have you forgot the last mining boom so fast, when my Vega64 could have earned more than new, with a waterblock, at one point three years old.
Damn people get excited about tech.
Oh and I partially agree then, but if you're GPU is going on 6/7 years old f£#@ it buy new or second hand old last generation, new this generation is a little expensive.
I'm on last generation platform, it'll suit you fine, 99.8% of world.
A very decent integrated cheap that can be used if something happens to your dedicated gpu.
I am sure, the next series with a better gpu, lower MB prices will sell better. Then there is also x3d coming which will attract plenty of people who skipped on these series.
I hope not..
The only ones that would really benefit from a new CPU today are Ryzen 1000/2000/3000g users,, and those can buy a 5800x/3d.
Ryzen 7000 just doesn't process a viable path for users unless they are enthusiasts who must have the newest shiny. For everyone else the cost/benefit just doesn't work so long as alder lake motherboards and am4 boards are still available at lower prices.
