AMD Ryzen 9 7900X3D Gets a Steep Retailer Price Cut to $499
AMD Ryzen 9 7900X3D, the 12-core/24-thread Socket AM5 processor that's been playing middle-child to the popular 8-core 7800X3D and 16-core 7950X3D flagship, just got a major retailer price-cut. It can now be had for as low as $499, down from its launch price of $599. The chip could be briefly available last month at $549. The $499 price is available on Newegg, where the chip is listed at $589.99, but with the promo-code "MDSCS2343," that shaves $90 off, you arrive at $499. The Ryzen 9 7900X3D is a 12-core/24-thread processor featuring 3D Vertical Cache technology on one of its two CCDs. The processor hence has 128 MB of L3 cache, besides 1 MB of dedicated L2 cache per core.

that way retailers can stock less and amd can cut production numbers and use the money for r n d for next cpu
This, and I just dont get it at all tbh, what is there to gain by playing the game like this....
Like why does AMD not snatch up the oppertunity and sell the 7600 for 230 euro.... it would be a very very decent choice, probably get a good amount of praise and it will sell, get some of that marketshare and in the end maybe get some fans for future products...
How does releasing it as is now help them....
Nvidia is just being Nvidia, like apple, they just do whatever and it somehow works out, but AMD....yeah that is just super weird imo.
Intel should also drop ARC a lot more, just gain some more users before the products are obsolete and that point is getting closer and closer...
this is the market straight up disappearing below their feet
They also said that for the past several quarters, but this time market somehow believes it and the stock is going to stratosphere!
It will be a hard correction if they don't actually deliver.
Prices are insanely high so i believe they are making a killing on the 4080 and 4090, profit margins should be insane. But in sales numbers they should be taking a world class beating and it will only get worst with the shitty releases of 4070 and 4060 class cards. Can they survive just selling to the deep pocket customers?
Sure the is not much future proofing in a 6core chip, but it would totally fly of the shelfs like the legendary 5600X, the budget gamer king.
It's just a super "niche" product that doesn't make any sense to buy for the most users. Esp. in the current market conditions.
$50 is not a lot when you are in the $400-$500 range.
You might be slightly better off with the 7800x3d for gaming but then on the flip side the 7900x3d is better at everything else. So really for the price overall it could be argued that overall it is the best chip for those that aren't just gaming but also have other work loads. At least at this price point.
