AMD just revealed its Ryzen 9000 CPU prices, and they’re disappointing [Ryzen 5 9600X = $279. Ryzen 7 9700X = $359]

AMD has lifted the lid on its Zen 5 processor prices, including the Ryzen 5 9600X and Ryzen 7 9700X, as well as the Ryzen 9 9900X and 9950X.
All 4 of them are cheaper than the launch price of their 7000 series counterparts. That's quite good really!
44The AMD Ryzen 7 9700X price is $359, which is a good $40 cheaper than the Ryzen 7 7700X
Sounds good to me
36Disappointing for share stock holders.

These are cheaper than the last two generations were, seems good
31I mean 5600x was like $300 when it came out.
19Good cpu for most gaming that can be had for 200 bucks. That 3d version is prolly still gaming value sweet spot.
1I mean sure, and their lineup has changed with the x3d chips, but I just mean $279 for the x600x line isn't the most expensive they have launched at. I don't see how it is a 'dissappointing' announcement, especially when the prices are naturally going to settle at a lower price most likely after launch anyhow.

Idk welcome to inflation, also the amount of work going to development of these chips is increasing every generation massively. I don't like the price but you don't have to buy the most modern CPU every time a new one is released.
7looks around my basement filled with 5-12 year old hardware

9Some of my hardware already begins to increase in price again as Vintage 😂

Why is that disappointing?
1They just don't outperform the 7000 series and they are kind of more expensive. I guess you can PBO them and get 15% out of them at similar power consumption but that isn't great for the price difference.
