Slovenian Retailer Puts AMD's Ryzen 9000-series up for Pre-order

As we're getting close to the launch of AMD's 9000-series Ryzen processors, local retailers have already started to put the new CPUs up for pre-order and this gives us a first glimpse into the pricing we can expect. The first company to do so in Europe is Slovenian retailer Funtech, which has put up all four SKUs on its site. For those not familiar with European pricing, Slovenia has a VAT or sales tax rate of 22 percent, which obviously makes the pricing higher than in the US and some other countries. As Funtech also sells AMD's current CPUs, we can also get an idea of how much more the new CPUs will cost, at least compared to what the online retailer sells the equivalent 7000-series models for.

Starting from the bottom, the Ryzen 5 9600X goes for €310 (US$332) and the shop has the Ryzen 7 7600X up for sale at €212. The Ryzen 7 9700X goes for €400 (US$429), whereas the Ryzen 7 7700X is sold for €305. The Ryzen 9 9900X is listed at €500 (US$536) with the Ryzen 9 7900X at €392. Finally the Ryzen 9 9950X is listed at €660 (US$707), compared to €510 for the Ryzen 9 7950X. This is in line with earlier leaked pricing from the Philippines and with the VAT removed, we end up close to proposed MSRP pricing by various leakers over the past couple of months, or even somewhat lower. If anything, it doesn't look like AMD is going to increase the MSRP over the 7000-series of Ryzen processors.

Again, that is not "normal" pricing, this is what a lot of shops do to make their prices look lower than they really are.

We call it unfair business model and deception of the customer what the law punishes.

Extremely inflated price. Back when intel had hold the monopoly with its quad cores between Core i7-2600K and Core i7-7700K, their prices had been around 300-350$.
This low-end, entry-level six-core is now the same price? Something is definitely wrong here.

This “low-end, entry-level” six core is much much faster than those old dinosaurs.

Also, inflation/greed.

Those "old dinasaurs" were the top-of-the-line premium CPUs. In modern equivalent, you are looking at at least a 12-core.
And at that time you had the good, light and fast Windows 7, today you have the much more demanding and slow Windows 11, and apps which require more cores / more threads.

gurusmiUsually europe has two sets of a vat. The lower ones for basic food and drinks, the higher ones for more luxury goods. ;) But aMSRP of 825€ isn't that cheap. I will have to think about which 16 Core i will get.
Would like to add that in Denmark we pay 25% VAT on everything.

FWIW I find the apparent retail prices for the new series not bad at all. Too bad that for me they're right now out of the picture. The upgrade path to AM5 and DDR5 is still just too steep for me. Especially considering I only buy ECC memory.

I think that having a PC in this digital age is a must. So, the PC components should also get the reduced VAT, of say 5-10%.

None.. ;)

Yes, and free education, if I'm not mistaken... like in socialism.

DenverTsk. Europeans are basically being abused with this VAT. :')
I mean yeah... i literally spend 650 euro on 7800X3D, which should be waaay cheaper. Store scalping is also a thing. Gotta love Europe, it's like we need a Robin Hood to save us from the evil taxes and scams lol. Thank god, the prices of that CPU are lower now, but i did get ripped offfff ;p

Yet Not one speck of information on the cost of the new generation of motherboards that goes with these CPU's.
AND that is very telling.

Maybe, just maybe, that is because most current-generation AM5 motherboards already have BIOS patches to support these. The next generation brings very little if anything new.

Never saw the wisdom of ordering something you cannot even get till certain date, and paying the earliest-early adopter tax. Market exists for those willing to pay, I suppose.

64KFrom what I hear AMD lowers prices pretty quickly after release.
Release high, wait for the negative feedback from Steve on Hardware unboxed, panic, cut prices. Repeat on the next product.

I need one. No doubt about. So i will definitly buy a 7950x or 9950x.

In Germany we have in general a free education. If it is not free that organisations charge a very low fee.

You can pop these CPUs into any AM5 board and get full functionality.
The 800-series is the same chipset as the 700-series, some augmented with a USB4 host controller.

I've got the upgrade itch but my 5800x3d is doing the job for gaming but lacking in productivity if they release an all x3d 16 core chip I'll definitely upgrade otherwise I'll keep my trusty 5800x3d.

They are promising big improvements for the new gen X3D. Hopefully that means same clocks as stock, OCing via PBO, v-cache on both ccd's for 9900/9950. 9900X3D is my next upgrade if even two of those three are true.

Oh I understand this and thanks for the information, but we should have prices from the new generation motherboard sometime soon since Computex happened 3 weeks ago.

We saw some nice new shinies at the trade show.

That's not how it works. Just because something is displayed at a trade show doesn't mean you're going to get pricing a few weeks later. Sometimes products shown at a trade show doesn't hit retail until a year later, if ever. The boards are apparently expected to launch after the CPUs this time around.
