People buying a GPU are buying a product who's purpose is very much aimed at gaming, perhaps only gaming depending who you ask, hence include a game as a bundle.
Those buying a just a CPU aren't necessarily playing games on that PC, as it's far more general purpose.
OK so 7950X Box for €576 got it.
using my "price search site" www.prisjakt.no/product.php?p=6999752
we get the best price from here

Now Mr Marketing how is your math?

You really should just delete this this thread....
I think in just a few minutes I just showed you MY KNOWLEDGE and your lack thereof...
But hey I have given you the way out you don't want to take it I can hardly WAIT to see what your next move is...
When it comes to Cashback versus Games, the reason AMD opts for games is pretty straightforward. For most consumers, it appears to be a better bang for the buck. AMD won't be shelling out anywhere close to the RRP price of the game for the promotion. If they were to offer the equivalent in Cashback, it would probably be in the $5-10 range—a sum unlikely to motivate a buyer. On the flip side, a game might entice someone to make a purchase, as it gives the impression of a more substantial reward.
In this particular case, the game may not be great, but it's a classic scenario of some wins and some losses.
They are included
I'm out here. This is a useless waste of time for me,
Seems like you should complain about being German rather than calling out AMD for bundles. :D
Ho yea btw: retailers that are meant for professionals don't have the bundle. and big fucking surprise, the price with VAT is the same.
And LASTLY and most IMPORTANTLY your posts have NOTHING relevant at ALL to the original post. This is ALL a YOU problem and your almost CONSTANT sense of entitlement and making all about YOU with BS financial filler that AGAIN has nothing to do with the topic. I don't understand why you haven't realized yet you have done nothing at all but derail the entire original post because YOU feel entitled..
AMD do many bundles like this every year and I have l lost count on the number of games I have received over the years and the number I wished I had bought the bundle. I even just missed this one
But you are the FIRST person EVER in the almost 20 years I have been a member here and the amount of bundles AMD has done over at least half that time who made it into a thread of utter nonsense because suddenly YOU are special and this bundle is some kinda scam...and YOU deserve some sort of special compensation on THIS particular bundle our the probably hundred at least that have always been under the same condiiions....
Just STOP please I am tired of calling you out everytime and you just pivot to sometjhing even more irrlelevant and I have to call hat out too. You obviously have no self awareness to see you look like an utter spectacle but jsut keep churning out more nonsense so I get make a fool of you yet again. You have genuinely become boring because you just can't stop makng yourself just the most obvious of fools
I am going to try to simplfy this as best I can they run sometimes a dozen of these in a year they are always under the same conditions nothing has changed but the product and the bundle item, Full Stop.
There will never be any changes to it other than what I mentioned but will NEVER like what your insifgnicant self entielment wants EVER
THE ENDaww I missed that part of his ranting wherehe had to tap out finalty at least he did finally give up and leave and I wasted all that effort...
No change in price here. It is just an incentive to sell products there is no nefarious sub plot. If shops are upcharging as a result that is their own responsibility and not AMD. If anything the Etailers are happy to promote these as it does increase sales. Before everything went totally online you could get keys if you had a friend that worked at an Electronics store as those used to be cards.That is how I got Sonic All Stars Racing but none of this is new. There have been Games that I have known I was going to buy that as someone that builds PCs would actually have me see that as being a great deal. You can check my posts from the time this was announced I have wanted it. The only thing adding to AMD is knowing what I am getting my Nephew for Christmas.
For all the stupid ones that haven't catched the thing. Also for everybody who wants to talk about the german prices, Any more questions about price drops? Beginning September the lowest price was €499. As i said before as my last screendump had shown it either. Any more evidence? In June there was a short drop to 482€. And, oh surprise, since the start od the starfield Marketing campaign the price didn't get lower again. Ooops.
I happen to know a little something about marketing, but I defer to your clearly superior second hand info.
I must be one of the stupid ones cuz I ain't catched tha thing hahaha.
Go Intel dude, no more AMD FREE GAME shenanigans! Problem solved.
The price curve of the 7950x also doesn't match other product that were also part of the bundle, or the prices fluctuation in other countries. Specific retailers in the same country can have flash sales that will lower the curve.
499€ was mindfactory all time low, not the all-time low at every retailer. As you can see, alternate price didn't fluctuate as much compared to mindfactory. Not even in September.
You are looking for reasons to hate and getting into dodgy conspiracy theories by doing so. And proceed to insult other people rather than admit your wrongs.
2 bought them at a price they are able to make those prices, According to your statistic cyvberport also had a price below 500€ shortly and shortly upfront the drop by mainfactory. So it has been more and not only one party with reduced prices. Nevertheless the game development was sponsored by AMD. So AMD did spend Money hardware or whatever to make the game better on that certain hardware. Is that so hard to understand? For AMD that promotion is not for free as long as one is not drunken or abusing drugs, There is nothing about conspiracy or whatever. There is also nothing about the Great Reset, Trump, Bill Gates and the Corona immunization,... or about other whatever sh*t (I don't know and care what consiracy theorems are around). It is straight and pure logical. If they wouldn't support that development in whatever way they wouldn't need that Marketing budget. Without that budget they would be able to offer the CPU/GPU by a lower price. We are still only on a logical path. If amd would offer a reduced game or alternately a cashback (or similar like a lowered price) nobody would be loosing. Period.
So according to you, AMD is making favors to mind factory since they had the longest and biggest price drop of every retailer? And Black friday is only a thing because it just so happens that many products from different industries that are not related happened to have a price drop from the suppliers at the same time?
I've read an article about the "french days" (french version of black friday) the CEOs said that it was a purely strategic move to counter amazon prime days and black Fridays of Americans brands doing direct sales. The sales period is choose based on social clues that shows that people would be more inclined to spend money at said period. In 2018 the French days happened during the world cup. They didn't wait for the starts to align and have Samsung, Sony and AMD to make a big price cut at the same time that would only last 5 days. (The french days always last 5 days).
Business isn't so black and white. Some industries have enough leeway in their margins to afford strategic sales or price cuts. Selling with a lower margin is better than not selling at all. Remember that time where microcenter decided to give away ram with zen 4 when bought in store ? So what, does that means that AMD decided to make a price cut for microcenter only ? A very specific 189,99$ price cut on every ryzen 7 and 9 cpu that happened to be on the shelves of every microcenter store, but not for the online stock ? What reasoning would you give for the extra 20$ off if you buy a specific AM5 motherboard in store at the same time ? ( the 20$ off isn't available if you only buy a motherboard)
2. I didn't say that anybody did a favor to a dealer. I said that that dealer bought CPUs/GPUs when they where available at a lower price. So mind factory was able to push through that reduced price. If the dealer didn't offer those GPUs/CPUs for that low price again they also didn't got it again by their distributor (AMD or an importer). Others haven't gotten that CPU that cheap so they weren't able to participate at those lower prices. That's not an assumptiuon but a fact.
3. I don't care about micro center. They are not a valid seller within germany. But to answer your examples: It could be i.e. a mixed calculation. Both parties selling the Ram and the CPU/Mainboard(???) reduce their prices and a bit is provided by the dealership. People often get into a shop and buy more than they planned. But it is a fact that all of the businesses have their revenues by that offer. None of the businesses looses even one cent.
4. I already got my mainboard (Asus ProArt X670e). Aside a lot to do (constructing and printing 3D Parts) i have only a few things to buy (CPU 7590x /RAM 96gb 6000CL30/SSD's 2*2TB PCIe 4.0x4/5.0x4/GPU 6950x). Except the GPU Cooler (Watercool Heatkiller) everything around is bought. I paid for all that stuff already 3.500€. I buy my stuff for a build always according to a plan. Starting at the outter and focussing on the main parts at the end. First the time consuming parts and at lasrt the fast ones. It could happen that I have to buy a larger PSU (>1kW) and/or 4 coolers incl. the connectors for the SSD's and/or 2 coolers connectors for the RAM bars. So no. I won't buy a new mainboard for my 7950x rig. I also don't buy things not available in my township in a store as i'm sitting in an electrical wheelchair 24/7. To get to the next store/mall I would need at least 3 days to get there and back. That are around 50km one way.
If you imagine that the world would be a back you sit on. Then the almost brown spot of the back is the place i live. Here we don't have a delivery for dishes or even from a grocery/supermarket. That is btw. in the middle of western germany!Sure AMD looses revenues to provide something for free. My suggestion: Dream on, grow up and get better educated. If you do so that is your topic not mine. But never ever charge me to be so dumb and undereducated to believe your theories. Btw. For a discussion there are two needed. Believe it or not. I put you on my ignore list also. So for you the discussion stopped with this post. Enjoy your self talkings.
Edit:
Also in the automonile industry there are such silly offers also. If I live in Hawaii and there I never face temperarutres below 10°C. I want to buy a Porsche- I dont need winter tyres. Porsche has a world wide offer telling me that i get those winter tyres for free with every car order. If i would buy that promoted porsche i would also buy the winter tyres by that offer. No matter if I want or need them. Nobody would say that those tyres are for free. But because of computers, a lower price, or whatever at the CPU/GPU they believe so.
