AMD Pricing
AMD Company has finally revealed the cost of its latest Ryzen 9000 series processors, based on the Zen 5 architecture. The price range of the new products is from 279 to 649 US dollars.
Comparison with expectations
Although the announced prices look attractive, they slightly exceeded expectations formed by preliminary rumors. For example, the flagship 16-core Ryzen 9 9950X is priced at $649 instead of the expected $599, and the 12-core Ryzen 9 9900X will cost $499, not $449 as previously expected.
Cost advantage
Despite some discrepancies with forecasts, AMD has set prices for the new generation of processors 20-50 dollars lower than the previous Ryzen 7000 series. Here is a comparison table of prices:
- Ryzen 9 9950X – $649 (50$ cheaper)
- Ryzen 9 9900X – $499 (50$ cheaper)
- Ryzen 7 9700X – $359 (40$ cheaper)
- Ryzen 5 9600X – $279 (20$ cheaper)
Release schedule
Processor release dates remain unchanged: Ryzen 7 9700X and Ryzen 5 will go on sale on August 8 9500X, and on August 15 - the top-end Ryzen 9 9900X and 9950X models. However, it is worth noting that motherboards with 800 series chipsets will not be available by these dates.
Expectations from new products
Today AMD will lift the ban on publishing the first reviews of the 9700X and 9600X models. If the claimed improvement in gaming performance is confirmed, it could be a deciding factor for gamers when choosing a new processor.

Wow, finally prices for the new Ryzens! It's nice to see that they are lower than the previous generation. I think the 9700X will be a great choice for gamers 🎮
Hans
Yes, Aleksandra, I agree. But I'm more interested in the 9950X. 16 cores for $649 is very tempting for video and 3D graphics. Although you will have to wait until August 15th 😅
Marie
But I'm thinking about the 9600X. $279 for the new generation isn't that bad. I wonder how much faster it will be than its predecessor in games? 🤔
Giovanni
Marie, today the embargo on reviews of the 9600X and 9700X should be lifted. We'll find out soon! I'm also waiting for test results before deciding whether to upgrade the system.
Viktor
Ha, another hype around new processors. My old Intel Core i7 still handles everything perfectly. Why spend money on these minor improvements? A marketing gimmick, nothing more.
Sophia
Viktor, I understand your skepticism, but technology does not stand still. The new generation can offer significant performance gains, especially in multi-threaded tasks. Plus, energy efficiency also improves with each generation 🌿
Pablo
But I’m more concerned about the lack of motherboards with 800 chipsets by the time the processors come out. This can create problems for early buyers. Does anyone know when to expect new motherboards to arrive? 🤷♂️
Hans
Pablo, good question! I heard that some manufacturers have already announced their models based on 800 chipsets. Perhaps they will go on sale soon after the release of the processors. In any case, it’s better to wait a little and build the system on a new platform 👍
