During the launch, AMD introduced four Ryzen 9000 Desktop CPUs chips, the Ryzen 9 9950X, Ryzen 9 9900X, Ryzen 7 9700X, and the Ryzen 5 9600X. All four have the same core counts as their predecessors at 16, 12, 8, and 6. Now, retailers worldwide have started to list these chips in their online stores and while the prices are preliminary, they look similar to or lower than the Zen 4 parts.
Starting with the AMD Ryzen 9 9950X, Canada Computers has listed the chip for CAD 839.00 which is lower than the CAD 939.00 MSRP of the AMD Ryzen 9 7950X (the chip is currently listed for CAD 719.00 which converts to $522 US and we have seen it available under $500 US recently).
