AM5 and Ryzen 7000 News

I anticipated that prices would be comparable but this is ridiculous. Its better to buy X version than non-X.

buy the X-version and run it on eco mode.

BTW... Whos the retailer.

thank you @The_King
First retailer got some pricing. You can only laugh at prices like this. :p

In US, There is 70 USD price difference between X and non-X R7000 CPUs(MSRP price)
Street price difference is just 20USD due to festive discount. This discount on X series CPUs is supposed to end today 20/1/23.
That means that X-series CPUs will get price increase and non-X will remain same.

In my opinion its better to wait for a month or so.

Absurd prices. This is totally stupid. Already AM5 boards are costly enough and now this. you cannot make a "budget" system this way.

Man, I was hoping for more Ryzen 7000 laptops this year. But looks like they aren't planning to sell much. Some good 16 inch Mini LED or OLED Ryzen laptop - that's all I ask for! Please.

You need to wait until A650 series is released (for budget MBs).
Currently the only option is B650 series. X670 series Mother boards are almost pointless.

I still don't understand what's the point of X670E when B650E motherboards have same functionality.

Only difference:
X670E - 24 PCIe 5.0 lanes, 12 PCIe 4.0 lanes and 8 PCIe 3.0 lanes
B650E - 24 PCIe 5.0 lanes, 12 additional PCIe 4.0 and 3.0 lanes

FYI: E - Support for PCIe 5 is available

Yes I am aware of this. But my point still stands. E or not, B650 Boards should be the mid range budget choice but they aren't. And i'm sure A620 series will have 2 slots and lower bandwidth, which isn't mid range its hardly entry level + bad upgrade path (2 DIMM slots? seriously)
Let's see

Now this makes AM5 adoption a little more interesting. Although prices here are still outrageous.

Yep!!! absolutely absurd prices for mid range system ....like me if someone is building their system from scratch, just the processor and MoBo will set you back by 40k to 50k (new platform). Minimum 1.2lakh is needed to build a decent mid range system.

And to compliment this, another news. Good one from Intel .

So 12900KF is selling for 43000 (cheapest I could find) which is 564 USD. So it is 43000/564=76. So the new price can be 37500 or even 38000.
Maybe this is their way to battle with AM5 and the new X3D CPU's from AMD. Or you can say that they are making room for 13th Gen.

According to the pic the prices have increased so they should edit the headings in the screenshot
 
R9 x3D on 2/28; R7 x3D on 4/6
7800x3D $449
7900x3D $599
7950x3D $699

Why do I feel this is ok pricing and nothing spectacular.
I have seen multiple reddit posts praising for the pricing.

I looked at Microcenter prices
7950x - 589$ (this includes 130$ worth of free DDR5 RAM Kit)
and rest of the models are out of stock (they might have assumed no one will buy X models once 3D models are available)

Those RAM deals with X CPUs are surely making it a great choice in US. Sadly 7800X3D is launching in April.
