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.

And if the rumers of zen 5 3d are fully unlocked for oc. I would hands down only have my eyes on the 3D zen 5 chips. That 3D cashe has truly show how much it can gain in games compared to none 3D variants, that it is the right cpu for me.
Also, which Asus motherboard are you referring too?

I'm an IA hater (no but just hardware wise, bc it's forced) ...will skip buy new PC parts anyway it was meant to be my last like i said past year, until i get old like in 15+ years..
And those not on AM5, why not wait to see what Arrow Lake brings?
These early prices are likely to be corrected (downward) quickly.
For my needs.
IDK what about CCD for 9000x3d, but i'm msure this gen is all about IA stuff, and even GPU will be btw.
The 9700x also needs to come down to $320 to make sense as a 8core CPU.
The other CPU prices are great.
At least now the 7000 series CPU's are going to be cheaper and more people can afford them.
Anyway, I'm only interested in the 9900's but definitely waiting for X3D variants.
Looking at recent Amazon pricing the 9950x MSRP makes sense considering how the 16 core parts are scaling right now.
MSRP vs. Amazon Trends (2024-07-31) casual observation
3950x__ MSRP $749 => (nonsense pricing)
5950x__ MSRP $799 => $350 Budget
7950x__ MSRP $699 => $530 Middle Tier
7950x3d MSRP $699 => $550 Middle Tier
9950x__ MSRP $599 => $600 Premium (Estimated)
9950x3d MSRP $??? => $650 (Estimated)
MSRP vs. eBay Trends (2024-07-31) casual observation excluding nonsense pricing
3950x__ MSRP $749 => $200 to 330
5950x__ MSRP $799 => $260 to 350
7950x__ MSRP $699 => $430 to 530
7950x3d MSRP $699 => $450 to 550
Finding a good deal on ebay looks to save about $50 to $100 below current pricing.
+200$ for the higher end ones
