AMD's next-generation Ryzen 9000 "Zen 5" Desktop CPUs have once again been listed online & the pricing is much lower than Ryzen 7000 MSRPs.
A few days ago, we reported the first retail listings of the AMD Ryzen 9000 "Zen 5" Desktop CPUs. Now, a new retailer has listed all four chips including the Ryzen 9 9950X, Ryzen 9 9900X, Ryzen 7 9700X, & the Ryzen 5 9600X which are available for pre-order with availability by 2nd August which is just a few days after the official launch which is planned for the 31st of July.
According to the retail listing by Funtech, all four chips have been listed with their pre-order prices though we cannot confirm if these are official or not. What we can tell is that they seem to be a lot lower than the MSRPs of the Ryzen 7000 "Zen 4" Desktop CPUs at launch so let's start with the top chips first.
The AMD Ryzen 9 9950X 16-Core CPU is listed for €659.90 which is €190 cheaper than the official MSRP of the Ryzen 9 7950X which sold for €849 at launch. It is also much lower than the €789.99 MSRP of the Ryzen 9 7950X3D during its launch. Surely, both Ryzen 7000 chips have since seen a range of discounts and the same retailer is offering these chips at €600.15 (Ryzen 9 7950X3D) and €550.18 (Ryzen 9 7950X). The pricing is much closer to the discounted rates and that is going to be great for new PC builders who are planning to shift to the Zen 5 CPUs.
Next up, we have the AMD Ryzen 9 9900X 12-Core CPU which is listed at €499.90 and that's €170 cheaper than the official MSRP of the Ryzen 9 7900X and €180 cheaper than the official MSRP of the Ryzen 9 7900X3D. Once again, that's a big price drop for the 12-core SKU and it should be very competitive against Intel's high-end Core i9
