AMD flagship CPU (for now) is now cheaper than ever
Source: The Verge
Just two days after reporting that the Ryzen 9 7950X3D hit its lowest price to date at $465, Amazon has pushed the price even lower. However, these offers are exclusive to Prime members.
The AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D is now available for $459.99 , marking its lowest price since launch. While its official MSRP remains $699, retailers don’t often use this price anymore, and sub-$500 prices have become quite common.
AMD Ryzen 7000 deals (Amazon Prime Deal affiliate links):
- Ryzen 9 7950X3D : $459.99
$699 - Ryzen 9 7900X3D : $327.98
$599 - Ryzen 7 7700X : $244.99
$399 - Ryzen 5 7600X : $174.99
$299
Perhaps worth of a mention is Ryzen 9 7900X3D which is now listed at $328. Which means that this 12-core processor is now $57 cheaper than 8-core Ryzen 7 7800X3D which is not part of the Prime deals. Quite interesting to see higher-end SKU being price lower, but this is the result of 7800X3D simply being a better gaming CPU due to how AMD utilizes 3D V-Cache.
It’s worth noting that the 7900X3D is now even cheaper than the 7900X, which lacks the additional cache and is priced at $329 at other retailers. Additionally, AMD has included a promotion for the Ryzen 5 7600X, the only 6-core CPU consistently sold below $180. This deal is not limited to Prime members.
