AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D Allegedly Priced at $480

Considering the flop that is Arrow Lake, if this turns out to be true I would be somewhat pleasantly surprised. AMD can at this point price it higher since there is no real competition. Hell, they still have Zen 4 stock to sell, so why not. I guess they want to bump up those Zen 5 sales numbers, which are pretty bad, for shareholders.

AMD's bigger goal (should be) to steal enthusiast/gamer market share from Intel. 9800X3D will be 20% expensive than 265K, but will it actually be 20% faster than 285K as AMD just claimed?

1080p gaming, 7800X3D (at MSRP) enjoys 12% performance advantage and is priced 12.5% higher than 265K. If a gamer is buying a bleeding-edge CPU, they are not gaming at 1080p, and X3D value drops quickly at higher res.

Brand loyalty takes a lot to break, and I think Intel's self-inflicted injuries of (1) 13th/14th gen degradation, (2) Core Ultra under-performance, (3) expensive CUDIMM, would be enough to leave Team Blue..

If Intel responds by cutting another $25 to $50 off Arrow Lake to move units this quarter, I could see a lot of LGA 1151 or 1200 users (who are looking to ugprade) sticking to Intel and upgrading to 1851. Or even buying firesale pricing on LGA 1700.

Meh, if they drop the 7800X3D to 350$ someday I might buy that then.

What was the price before Zen 5 launched ? ( haven't been caring to look at all that much just know that it went all the way up to $600 after Hardware unboxed troll Zen 5 for videos/clickbait)

Im not sure but I know around prime day back in july the price of the 7800X3D got to around $300 then the closer the 9x00 series was announced, the price skyrocketed.

It was back in July.

The 7800X3D was $330 - $350 prior to 9000 series launch.

It's time to face the truth. A $250 9600x is better in gaming than the $400 Ultra 265k, plus no need for a new motherboard.

Yeah, I'm not that lucky, where I am from.

7800x3d was available for $339.99 during the summer and has often been available under $380 for the last year.

Only recently has the price increased as it went out of stock.

It was around that in Sweden for a bit, now it's €450.
