I doubt SEP is single exit price as vendors get to choose how much they charge for stuff, so what’s SEP

In that case I think I will be upgrading for less than a dollar

If my understanding is correct, SEP is the price at which retailers buy from AMD. Then the retail price will be the SEP + tax/markup/etc and that'll be what us consumers will pay.

What's SEP? At first, I thought it was September, but since the CPUs will be available now-ish and next week, it doesn't add up. :slap:

I've been looking at the SEP price, and it jumps to ~ $0.00025429 and back every few seconds. Is the US dollar that unstable?

Intel & NYSE would think so.

If those are retail launch prices, then they're very good imo, especially for 9900x/9950x. Just to clarify, 9900x has a 2x6 structure, and 9800x 1x8, right ?

Probably, and it's 9700X. 9800X is likely reserved for X3D as is in Ryzen 7000.

But yes, it's looking good.

Cool, but i think most people are waiting for the 3D variants to come together with the launch of the 800 series motherboards.

However AMD might be in for a great sales periode. Here i thinking of new cpu's combined with Intels 13/14 gen problems, could boost AMD'S cpu sales in the coming months.

It is mostly only gamers that benefit from the X3D variants.

I know and aint most people gaming on there pc among other things they do.

Sure there will be people who can't wait or just don't know better.

But i think amd most popular models will be the 3D variant over all.

I'm definitely gonna upgrade my 3600 with a 9800X3D.

Depending on reviews and pricing (including how much I can sell 7800X3D for), I will likely upgrade my 7800X3D to the 9800X3D.

That's a nice upgrade there. :)

I'm not sure if that'd be worth the cost. Single generational improvements can hardly be felt outside of benchmarks these days. Of course, we'll see when reviews hit, but I'm not planning the same. Zen 6 X3D maybe.

I agree; it mostly depends on if it makes a difference in game performance.

If they are single-figure percentage improvements, I will wait for the third-gen AM5 (10800X3D?).

Surprised positively by their pricing, also their TDP doesn't look bad.

9900X priced $50 less than what the 5900X was at when I got one. I enjoy the increased speed of using handbrake on my 5900x over the old 4670k I was running. I'd be interested in upgrading, but I'm pretty content with what I have now. Also it doesn't help that I have no monies for such an upgrade (CPU/MB/RAM) considering I have to get a new water heater. Reality keeps me in check when I start to feel that slight upgrade itch coming along.
