First Ryzen 7000-Series Pricing Posted by Canadian E-Tailer

[TheLostSwede]

For those of you that are eagerly awaiting the Ryzen 7000-series CPUs, details of the potential pricing has appeared over at Canadian e-tailer DirectDial. @momomo_us was first to post the details on Twitter, but didn't provide any details of who the e-tailer was, but some sleuthing using the AMD ordering codes soon brought us to DirectDial. The company has listed the all four expected CPU models with pricing and it appears that AMD has decided to stop providing coolers entirely, as none of the four upcoming CPUs appear to be available with a cooler in the box. All the model names ending WOF are retail packaged CPUs and the ones missing WOF at the end of the product number are tray CPUs from what we can tell.

As for the pricing, the Ryzen 5 7600X is listed at CA$435 or about US$340, with the Ryzen 7 7700X coming in at CA$631 or US$494. The Ryzen 9 7900X is CA$798/US$625 and finally the Ryzen 9 7950X is a steep CA$1158/US$907. @momomo_us also found some tray pricing from a different retailer and these CPUs are priced a few bucks cheaper, but we were unable to locate who the retailer is. Note that electronics and computer parts appear to be priced a fair bit higher in Canada than the US on average. As such, these prices should only be taken as an indication of what the retail price in Canada might end up being and not what the actual MSRP will land at, when AMD decides to launch these CPUs. Currently the retail date is expected to be on the 15th of September.

Update 10:49 UTC: The tray CPU retailer is PC-Canada.

350 for a 6 core and 500 for a 8 core? this is what buying up 300 dollar 6 cores last gen did to AMD you people.

as opposed to what? buying intel instead, when they were sitting on their asses for years? lol no thanks, I'll just buy the best price-to-performance product that I'm in need of
based on your message you have a childish up "us vs them" mentality - BUYING EITHER PRODUCT WON'T SOLVE SHIT!!! they're businesses, not your friends, and the moment they have a clear upper hand over another business, they'll do shit that's typical for businesses

Dont draw too many conclusions from this, heck i dont even know why this stuff is posted to begin with

Bait headlines are bait headlines. These "e-tailers" leaking pricing doesn't mean jack. iirc they did the same with wack numbers prior to 5000 launch, nobody actually buys from them. I don't think most Canadian consumers have ever even visited these sites once.

The retail 5900X is on their website for $800+. For comparison, I bought mine at full launch price for $759 in 2020. It's currently selling at $500 on the nose, not too far from original 5600X price. Comical pricing holds true for most other CPUs.

That said, I don't expect good news on the pricing front up north here. Not even considering touching AM5 until at least 6 months in.

Intel obliterated AMD when they released the Core 2 uArch and then had a performance lead for many years however they've never raised prices like AMD did with Zen 3. And let's not forget how AMD joyfully joined NVIDIA's pricing with RDNA 2.0.

What's allowed/OK for AMD is certainly not OK for everyone else, a poor underdog after all.

God, I hate fanboys. They always find intricate excuses to justify whatever crap their favourite company is doing. Companies first and foremost care about their profits and shareholders. Clients come second. Whoever thinks otherwise is delusional.

These prices are most likely placeholders. There's nothing to discuss.

1) We don't know whether these prices are valid. So w8 for official msrp from AMD
2) Always, the brand new CPUs sell in retail with a mark-up for early adopters aka "sheeps". You need to w8 3-6 months for prices to normalize.
3) RPL will probably demolish ZEN 4 so sooner or later AMD will lower the prices, if they don't want to loose market share.
4) AL + DDR4 is a pretty good upgrade path if you don't want to pay premium for RPL / ZEN4

 

[AusWolf]

Wow! The choice is either the Intel tax on motherboards, or the AMD tax on CPUs, it seems.

 

[Chrispy_]

Looks a bit scalpy to me; MSRPs need to be lower unless Zen4 blows Intel so far out of the water that it doesn't matter.

Ignoring early-adopter tax and other markup to fleece the impatient, I thought the rumoured MSRPs were lower than current 5000-series, now that Alder Lake has shown up and provided decent competition, with Raptor lake looking to keep the pressure on AMD.

These are dubiously low prices, but you can also pick up a 12400F for silly low prices and that raises the question of why you'd really need to spend more on a 5600/5600X/5700X/5800X

 

[Calmmo]

The one thing i find weird about 7000 is how now it's AMD that's stuck selling the same core counts again and again.. Also feels premature to buy into DDR5, see ya next year with I guess ryzen 9000 because for no reason they skip numbers.

 

[Crackong]

Just place holders

Says the Intel fanboy who spreads his shilling over multiple forums whenever anyone puts his beloved in a bad light.

You must really hate yourself.

 

[PapaTaipei]

This is not the MSRP, I belive the listed price is vastly inflated.

 

[Dyatlov A]

So in USA the 7600x will be $300 and 7700x $450. Very pricy they are. I am very curious how do they will perform against the overclocked $150 Intel i5-12400F.

Thats OK, when it comes to finding the money for the latest & greatest tech, PC Gamers are like drug addicts, they'll lie, cheat & steal to get the necessary funds, to feed their E-Peen high.

With a boost of beyond 5.5GHz? That was pretty much impossible with previous generation(s). Additionally you get 24 PCI-E 5.0 lanes on which X16 can be adressed for GPU's and even your NVME SSD's setup. This is HEDT territory by now. Intel on the other hand only provides you 16 lanes.

Pricing will be as good as placeholders; not real pricing so far.

And who cares. There's still a ton of CPU's to pick on the AM4 platform. From budget to high-end.

 

[TheLostSwede]

I believe I wrote that this isn't the MSRP.

 

[iO]

They just used their Ryzen 5000 rip-off prices as place holders.

If those prices get confirmed after release, we will have to judge them based on performance and the AM5 platform. But yes, they are ugly based on cores.

But don't look just at AMD. Intel's and Nvidia's pricing aren't any better. Nvidia was hoping for the crypto madness to keep going on, to sell RTX 3000 series with over 60% profit margins and continue doing so with RTX 4000. Intel started selling Alder Lake at reasonable prices, but that was easy because they where selling E cores and expensive chipsets at the same time. 500 for an 8 core is not something new considering that the top Alder Lake only offers 8 P cores and costs much more. The other 8 cores are E cores and I wouldn't put the same price on them as the one I put on P cores.

All companies are moving prices up and all companies are fighting for the top spot. None of the three is out of the race this period. Pure AMD is old news and the era where Intel and Nvidia funs where hopping a desperate AMD to produce second grade stuff, that will not threated their lovely Intel and Nvidia products, but at least will force those two companies to lower somewhat prices, is over.

Hi,
Prices always start off high only question is how long it takes for amd to saturate the market and start to drop prices.
But advanced ordering is just stupid

TPU desperately needs a rumors section for all the other click bait rumors stuff tagging as news is just wrong.

You hate fanboys but only talk about AMD's possible bad pricing.
Intel owns 70% of CPU market and Nvidia owns 80% of the GPU market.
Those two dictate pricing, not AMD. Ask those two to lower pricing, not AMD.

AMD doesn't have unlimited capacity at TSMC. Even if it lowers pricing it wouldn't be able to keep it low, because demand will force prices up fast.

As for Intel at the Core 2 era and beyond, why increase pricing? They where selling the same product at different manufacturing nodes for over 5 years.

Please explain to me why this is a rumour when it's pricing posted by two different retailers/e-tailers in Canada?
Is it AMD's MSRP? No. But it's an indicator of what some retailers/e-tailers think they can charge for these upcoming CPUs and it's the first and only real indicator we've had so far.

Hi,
Yeah my bad for all the other rumors that make it in the news section.

 

[freeagent]

Similar pricing to when Zen3 dropped for us.

 

[phanbuey]

These prices might fall by $50 or so when things settle, but these make way more sense than previous leaks.

With inflation/fuel hike + tsmc price hike + amds positioning as premium brand and how much they can sell these dies on the server side… these are actually still lower than I thought they would be.

 

[maxfly]

Sometimes the cost of playing goes up, sometimes down. The truth is...

none of these CPUs is going to improve your kill ratio.
