Ryzen 7000 X3D prices announced today

7800X3D = $449
7900X3D = $599
7950X3D = $699

7900X3d and 7950X3d on 2-28

7800X3d on 4-6

Guess they're making the more frugal gamers wait.

Kinda shitty of AMD. Considering the greater complexity of getting the dual CCD configurations to work correctly, there's zero reason to hold the single CCD 7800x3d beyond a money grab. Which makes sense from a business perspective, but AMD seems hell bent on giving away the good will that it spent so many years building.

No doubt. But historically, most people in the tech sphere generally viewed AMD as less inclined towards frickery than either Intel or Nvidia. With the pricing of the 7900 series combined with this kind of artificial staggering, I now think of AMD as no different than the other two. Not surprising, I suppose, now that AMD has risen in prominence, but still a bit disappointing.

AMD isn't gonna go by "hey, we cheap" any further.

It sucks, but "leather jacket man" is gonna push prices even more.

And AMD isn't going to gain shite for market share if they follow him up. Right or wrong, the market has spoken loud and clear that it's willing to pay a 10-20% premium for Nvidia GPUs at the same raw rasterization performance in return for the superior feature set (RT, DLSS, etc). After climbing steadily, AMD's GPU market share has been collapsing over the last couple of years. I don't understand how they view the current tack as acceptable.

AMD's CPUs currently seem a little better placed, but with Intel waking up from years of pathetic slumber, AMD could start to face serious pressure on both fronts, with Intel starting to sneak up on the GPU front as well.

On a good note, 4080's and 4070ti's are "cheap" and available.

Good. Leather jacket man needs another punch to the gut.

Edit: fixed.

I forgot the " ".

Yeah those days are long gone, although I've seen nothing but positivity about the 3D chip prices today. I expected $100 more each as did most so that's nice.

$449 for a 7800X3D is a great price for what you are getting, especially when they start to hit some sales in the summer. I imagine these will sell like hotcakes like the 5800X3D.

I don’t have an issue with the price, though I don’t know if I would call it great. It’s a good price, but with the 7700x currently selling for less than $350, $550 for the 7800x3d would have been eye watering. With that said, if it delivers on its promise of being the apex gaming chip, it will obviously sell well at nearly any price. That’s simply how the market treats halo products. See: RTX 4090.

I do have an issue with their holding the 7800x3d for six weeks. And this isn’t me picking on AMD. I would have said the exact same thing about Nvidia releasing the 4090 before the 4080 if the 4080 wasn’t such a pointless disaster in and of itself

It does suck a bit, feel like I've waited forever only for yet another delay.

But that shite won't work on me, $150 for more cores I don't need is not worth.

Plus the early leaks showing the 78 with the same gaming performance as the other two so that extra cache and clock speed doesn't appear to gain anything.
