AMD Discounts the Ryzen 5000-series on its Official US Web Store, Ryzen 7 5800X3D Goes for US$329

[Super Firm Tofu]

You mean on AMD store for Sweden ? Yes surely it has do withg VAT but i wonder what the massive difference between NA and EU pricing has to do with ? Or why is only NA getting exclusive discounts on AM5/7000 series ? I mean other than the obvious and pathetic customer discrimination. I believe media should put a little bit more emphasis on that stuff because had that been Intel or Nvidia they would't get a free pass !

Do the prices you posted include VAT? The prices in the US don't include any sales tax, which can vary between 0%-10%, depending on your location.

100% its going to be a beast. lets just hope AMD has the intelligence to thin out that IHS. Intel did for their 12th gen chips, or 11th gen, can't remember. and it improved temps a lot for Intel. not sure why AMD would not have learned from Intel's recent mistake on this, but eh what can you do. i don't make six figures, they do. so that's that. they the smart ones.

I don't think it's the same, from what I remember they shaved the die itself and not the IHS, either way AM5s here we go? Adjusting the height is a simple fix and mount adapters would basically be a couple washers, it's what they should have done from the start (though also changing hole pattern helps prevent user errors but not really necessary, just rtfm)

I think AMD knew that a Zen4 X3D at launch would have muddied the waters too much and would have made the 7950X look less appealing.

Yes, but so will the launch of zen4 x3d so close to the original, which they'll need to do because zen4 came short against Raptor Lake (even though Intel is using e cores which muddies the water a lot, they win on the marketing front).

I don't know what their plan will be, it will probably make some people angry for buying in early but tech moving fast is a good thing anyway.

EU gets shafted as per usual ( member those AM5 mobo + CPU + ram deals exclusive to NA ) , thank you AMD. Oh well im sure Europeans can return the favor to AMD !

Check geizhals, the prices are pretty in line if you account for the added VAT

Yeah, well, that's been the case for as long as I can remember when it comes to hardware. Europe still doesn't get nearly as badly shafted as Australia and New Zealand.

Do the prices you posted include VAT? The prices in the US don't include any sales tax, which can vary between 0%-10%, depending on your location.

VAT is 18-25% in most countries in the EU though. The price is still higher than it should be direct from AMD in Europe.

What mean from amazon's warehouse? You must have amazon in your country like Germany, Italy and etc.?

Shipped from Amazon warehouse, and it is from the US Warehouses not my local ones.

A few shops in Germany appears to have similar pricing too.

Yeah, you're right, if you mean in German rather than Germany.
Chrome auto translated, so I didn't notice it at first.
There's https://skinflint.co.uk/ but it appears to be partially in German too...

Skinflint lists products that ship to UK, even if the seller is in Germany. And conversely, geizhals lists what's available to Germans (and Austrians?), even if the seller is in the UK.

Here (Slovenia) I've only seen the German version in the last ~2 years. Before that, it was randomly in German or bad English.

I've been hang up on possibly buying the 5700g for a long time and this price is pretty good, but the X3D is also so low that it's even more appealing.

Need to wait to see what discounts on motherboards look like in the next couple of weeks, kinda silly buying a new AM4 board now but I need more expansion and with the X3D at these prices and still being top dog also not much sense going AM5/Intel.

The 5600g was really tempting too at $130 but I want the pro version so I can still use my server ecc memory and ditch my rx560(b) on my home server.

that's where the money and profit margins are.

so EUROPE with 600mio people has different money?

i don't know how it works, it was just a guess.

Many countries in Europe are far poorer than the US. Imagine a Germany that's 4 times larger; that's what you're competing against.

Subjective. If the product were already gouged from the top, any reduction to it would seem unicorn. An ILLUSION!

$450 wasn't unreasonable considering it was their first foray into cache stacking which couldn't have been cheap and yet and the premium over their standard 8 core was minimal. Whether it's a good deal or not is upto the consumer for sure. I don't agree with the gouging part though. What WOULD be gouging and subsequent illusion with a price cut is if the 4090 got a price cut from $1600 to $1400. That product is gouged like hell - not like the 3090 Ti though which was absurd and shafted their early adopters but that's a different topic so I wont go there.

The premium over the standard 8 core was minimal because that one was ridiculously overpriced to begin with.

The below ryzen 5 6cores comes with Uncharted 4: A Thief's End and Uncharted: The Lost Legacy games bundle and prices in Germany starting from:
Ryzen 5 5600 116.80€+VAT
Ryzen 5 5500 83.20€+VAT
Ryzen 5 4500 64.60€+VAT

Good values, i wonder what deals they will have in store for Black Friday!

I'm still waiting for a Zen3 based APU Athlon Gold 5X00G model at 49€+VAT (quad core with Vega 5?) to upgrade my sister's old A8-5500 PC.
