    All 4 of them are cheaper than the launch price of their 7000 series counterparts. That’s quite good really!

    The AMD Ryzen 7 9700X price is $359, which is a good $40 cheaper than the Ryzen 7 7700X

    Sounds good to me

          AMD is still down about 22% over the last month, better than intel but still pretty bad

        More people may buy them at lower prices, so it doesn’t translate to worse sales…

        Amd is quite expensive, that’s what it’s down so much. Their stocks are more expensive than Nvidia which is why it’s falling behind so much.

      Good cpu for most gaming that can be had for 200 bucks. That 3d version is prolly still gaming value sweet spot.

        I 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.

    They 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.
