AMD Ryzen 9 7900X CPU Price Drops To $420 US, Now Cheaper Than Non-X Variant In China
The AMD Ryzen 9 7900X CPU seems to be falling in price outside the US borders as the chip is now available for as low as $420 US in China.
Chinese retailer Jingdong (JD.com) revealed today that they are discounting the AMD Ryzen 9 7900X CPU to 2899 RMB which converts to $420 US. This new pricing places the processor below the price of the Ryzen 9 7900 non-X variants by close to 300 RMB (3199 RMB).
