AMD's Zen 5 Ryzen 9000 "Granite Ridge" series desktop processors are expected to be released on July 31st. The Ryzen AI 300 "Strix Point" series notebooks will hit stores earlier, on July 15th. This information comes from product listings on various e-commerce sites, as reported by ITHome and Videocardz. Additionally, a BestBuy listing shows one ASUS laptop with a Ryzen AI 300 "Strix Point" CPU launching on July 15th, ahead of the desktop processor release.

ITHome also reported potential retail prices for the AMD Ryzen 9 series CPUs, at least for the Philippine market. Worldwide prices may be lower or higher depending on taxes in each region.
  • Ryzen 9 9950X: $648
  • Ryzen 9 9900X: $597
  • Ryzen 7 9700X: $409
  • Ryzen 5 9600X: $315

That's just way off. Why should a 9900X cost only $50 less than the 9950X? Why even posting prices before official info from AMD?

Same thing every time. "Oh, we found some random numbers on the internets 6 weeks before launch, let's post it."

Last time it was:

7950X $700
7900X $550
7700X $400
7600X $300
  • Ryzen 9 9950X: $648
  • Ryzen 9 9900X: $597
  • Ryzen 7 9700X: $409
  • Ryzen 5 9600X: $315

Edit: Yeah shoot me for comparing US with PH, I'm talking price differences.

9700X is very appealing to me but the 7800X3D should be slightly faster in gaming and is currently $339. Not sure what to do maybe just wait for the 9800X3D.
 
At $600 the 9950xt is well positioned at launch. However, the 9600x and 9900x should be at least a little cheaper.
 
You can get the bottom tier ryzen and do just as good as top model. They are that efficient.

Yup. The prices for everything below top 16 cores solutions, are pretty unappealing to say the least. This looks like the pleasing the elite buyers, who buy only top HW, regardless of need. But those folks will not save anyway.

Don't get me wrong, if this prices are real, then 9950X has the right price it needs. $600 bucks is the MSRP 5950X should had have from the start. But the rest of the stack, should be at least $10-20 less. And 9900X price feels like third party store gouging, which is based on the selling history, of previous 12 cores been the most "appealing" SKUs.

Still, nothing to worry about. The real prices will be closer to the end of the year, anyway. Would be nice if the X3D counterparts will arrive before the Black Friday. Unless people waiting for the new CPU right now, then it should settle up sooner or later.
 
Everyone will just wait for the magical X3D versions anyway.
 
Seems like placeholders, I'm expecting prices similar to the 7000 series launch.
9950x - $650
9900x - $500
9700x - $400
9600x - $300
 
wonder it is because better chips yield ?
more 9950X qualified chips thus lower quantity for rank below, and so the pricing adjustment

From gaming, I have a 7800X3D, frankly the only reason to wait for a more expensive 9800X3D is if you really need a heavy productivity workstation too.

But here you will be either GPU limited or have so much fps if playing in 1080p that your screen refresh rate will be the problem lol.

It's cheap and very powerful, I won't upgrade mine before AM6 I think, unless there are games that really makes it suffer..but which one ? I have yet to see one.

Both the 7800X3D and the 9800X3D are 8 core models no?

A heavy production machine would usually need more cores so maybe you mean 9950X3D.

Yes but each core in the 9000 is reportedly faster, it was more about this, it may make a difference in some productivity scenarios but IMHO not so much in gaming given that we are mostly gpu limited in that scenario with a 7800x3D

While I don't take early pricing seriously... I wouldn't be surprised If the 6 and 6+6 are terribly priced at launch vs the 8 and 8+8 configurations classic amd really. Price them terribly, let reviewers crap on them, watch prices nose dive over 3-5 months and then they will be ok buys.
 
Can't wait to see what the v-cache models bring to the table. AMD is promising big improvements this ge, so maybe we'll see clcoks almost on par and no loss in productivity so I can have my cake and eat it too. 9900X3D with 65W TDP would be awesome.

I'd be more happy if they just fix programs not running properly on them and not having to jump through a bunch of hoops to get them to run well on everything....

Still I like the 7950X3D a lot more than I did the 7800X3D which felt really slow in everything but gaming.

It will be a little cheaper right before Intel's launch.
