BTW why do people expect that prices should be compared only with current retail prices of previous gens?
I can understand that the users want the best performance/price ratio but consider this...
Lets say they priced 9700X close to current 7700X price... What will happen in 1-2 years when Zen6 is out?
9700X will be down in price further more and...?
Should we expect Zen6 replacement to be priced again close to future 9700X price?
And by 2030 CPUs will be handed for 100$ (why not for free) while better and better fab nodes cost more and almost everything else going up too.
There is a regression in price from prev gen and this is a good sign. Not the best but at least is something.
Better even with higher SKU if the -100$ is true.
