AMD is predicted to launch 4 CPUs in its Ryzen 7000 collection (the “X” line) this night, and some hours forward of the announcement, the pricing has already leaked. Based on Wccftech’s sources, the costs of the upcoming desktop chips will likely be as follows:
- Ryzen 9 7950X – $799 US
- Ryzen 9 7900X – $549 US
- Ryzen 7 7700X – $449 US
- Ryzen 5 7600X – $299 US
These costs, as Wccftech appropriately notes, stay unchanged from the costs of the Zen 3 Ryzen 5000 lineup, which additionally ranged from $299 to $799 at launch. The 7000 collection is the direct successor to the 5000 desktop collection — the 6000 series (presently trickling out in certain laptop models) skipped the desktop chips.
A lot of what we learn about these upcoming Ryzen 7000 CPUs comes from AMD’s Computex keynote earlier this 12 months. They’re set to be the primary desktop CPUs based mostly on a 5nm course of. They’re additionally the primary AMD chips to boast enhance clocks over 5GHz — the CPU matched the 5.5GHz output of Intel’s flagship Core i9-12900KS in a run of Ghostwire: Tokyo onstage.
The pricing, if confirmed, wouldn’t come as a shock — the Ryzen 5000 era was broadly thought of to be priced excessive at launch, and the brand new era brings a big enhance in clock pace. Nonetheless, some PC lovers may even see $300 for a six-core half as a foul deal since Intel’s competing Core i5-12400 half has a suggested retail price of under $200, and AMD’s personal Ryzen 7 5700X (an eight-core chip from the final era) can presently be discovered all over the place for under $300. That’s very true since Ryzen 7000 consumers can even have to shell out for a new motherboard — the brand new chips are not suitable with the AM4 platform.
We’ve reached out to AMD for touch upon this pricing leak.
