With the upcoming release of the Ryzen 7 9800X3D, AMD has significantly reduced prices on its existing Ryzen 9000 desktop CPUs.
The discounted processors are available from Amazon and Newegg, with Newegg offering a slightly better deal on the Ryzen 9 9900X.
Ryzen 9000 Price Cuts
| CPU | Discounted Price | MSRP | Retailers |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ryzen 9 9950X | $599 | $649 | Amazon, Newegg |
| Ryzen 9 9900X | $382 (Newegg), $412 (Amazon) | $499 | Amazon, Newegg |
| Ryzen 7 9700X | $327 | $359 | Amazon, Newegg |
| Ryzen 5 9600X | $249 | $279 | Amazon, Newegg |
The Ryzen 9 9900X, now at $382 on Newegg, offers a compelling 12-core/24-thread configuration with 80MB of cache and a boost clock up to 5.7 GHz. The Ryzen 9 9950X, with a $50 discount, provides even more cores for demanding tasks. The Ryzen 7 9700X and Ryzen 5 9600X are also attractively priced for high-end gaming and productivity.
These discounts are ideal for building a powerful gaming system, allowing for greater investment in a high-end GPU. For maximum gaming performance, however, consider waiting for the Ryzen 7 9800X3D, launching on November 7th.
