Ryzen 9000-series Pricing Leak Ahead of Launch
Official Ryzen 9000-series pricing has leaked just ahead of the launch, courtesy of Newegg and BestBuy in the US. Serial leaker @momomo_us over at X/Twitter managed to snap screenshots of the pricing before it was removed by the retailers. This might've been because of a mixup, since the Ryzen 9000-series was supposed to launch today, before being pushed back to the 8th and 14th of August respectively, depending on the SKU. Admittedly the pricing might still change, but it's highly likely that the leaked pricing is AMD's MSRP for the four new CPUs, as both of the retailers have listed identical pricing for the four SKUs.
The good news for prospective buyers of the new CPUs is that AMD has lowered the pricing across the board compared to the launch pricing for the Ryzen 7000-series, especially at the higher-end. The Ryzen 5 9600X should have an MSRP of US$279, followed by US$359 for the Ryzen 7 9700X. That's US$20 and US$40 lower than their Ryzen 7000-series counterparts respectively. The Ryzen 9 9900X should retail for US$449, followed by US$599 for the Ryzen 9 9950, both US$100 less than their Ryzen 7000-series counterparts. This could in part be due to the expected X3D parts coming at a later point in time and AMD now knowing it has to offer the non X3D SKUs for a more competitive price point.

Edit: Probably looking at something like this: (all released before the end of the year)
9600X $279
9700X $359
9800X3D $449
9900X $449
9900X3D $549
9950X $599
9950X3D $699
Yea IMHO it appears to look like more of the same. And yea I've heard some rumors on these new boards as well.
Expensive New Generation mother boards = Lowering the CPU prices for people to buy the whole package down the road.
Also unless you live under a rock... Times are tough. People do not have discrectionary income to throw around.
Everything depends on Performance Vs Price Vs Energy Effeciency for me. Which is why I haven't made an upgrade to my rig yet.
My rig is just too reliable and effecient to just swap out for the LoL's If I upgrade it will be the same concept on current build.
next genlatest 5xxx XT chips :wtf:Original Zen I guess wrt Intel at least.12900k ---> 13700k, similar performance increase, price went drastically down - again within a year.
You are trying to portray a 15% performance increase in the timespan of 2 years as revolutionary. It's really not?
Of course, there is plenty of headroom for OC in 9700X. This will be (apart from X3D chips), the next AMD's bestseller, no doubt about it.
Intel managed to get IPC by brute forcing clocks on those Raptor cores and look how it turned out for them ...
So, maybe Intel managed to get +40% MT perf in 2 generations but those 2 generations won't live till next generation. Burn baby burn.
Looks like what I was hoping for might happen price wise, which is nice to see. No HT for core ultra5/7 parts, and boosted ecore ipc will see their MT performance fall pretty flat as they chop off ecore clusters going down the line. AMD will have less to worry about this time around and its good to see preemptive adjustments to pricing as Intel will be late to the party.
Also, Asus has already proven that a dual chipset mini-ITX board is pointless.
- DDR5 pricing.
- Motherboard pricing. (I think we're blaming Gen5 PCIe for that still, right?)
- Decent availability of EXPO kits for the masses to get 'XMP' stable without manual voltage/timing tweaks.
- Ridiculous boot times on so many motherboards that took 9 months or more to resolve through AGESA and BIOS updates.
- The ASUS faulty BIOS issue that burned many X3D and even some regular X-series CPUS
Now we can finally call AM5 'ready' but it's only in the last 6 months or so that I feel it's become a mature, stable enough platform to recommend without caveat.3950x MSRP $749
5950x MSRP $799
7950x MSRP $699
9950x MSRP $599
Does it somehow only exist when the same fabs are used to produce nvidia GPUs?I would guess that they bet on people willing to overspend on Zen3 just to save on not having to upgrade mobo and RAM.
