The day we’ve been waiting for has finally come; the Ryzen 9000 series pricing has been revealed online. AMD hasn’t officially disclosed prices, but with some of the most popular retailers now putting up early listings of the new Zen 5 CPUs, we can now see how much the new processors will cost. Previous price leaks have been keeping us updated for a while now, but these new retail listings are the most promising yet.
Better yet, a quick comparison against the Ryzen 7000 series pricing at launch shows that the next-gen chips are even cheaper – particularly with the high-end Ryzen 9 options. And no, we’re not talking about those Ryzen 9 typos that surfaced recently.
Ryzen 9000 series listed on Amazon and Newegg
Hailing from a post by reliable leaker momomo_us on X, Best Buy has started listing the new 9000 series, from the 9600X up to the flagship 9950X. Interestingly enough, the 9950X is listed at $50 more expensive on Newegg, so we’ll have to wait and see which price is correct. There are also details on the 5900XT and 5800XT, which aren’t getting delayed at all (unlike the 9000 series).
Anyway, here’s what we know so far about the Ryzen 9000 series pricing now that they’ve been listed on Best Buy.
- AMD Ryzen 9 9950X: $599 / $649 (Newegg)
- AMD Ryzen 9 9900X: $449
- AMD Ryzen 7 9700X: $359
- AMD Ryzen 5 9600X: $279
How does it compare to the 7000 series?
Looking back at the price of the 7000 series when it launched, we can now compare and contrast. Below we’ve compiled a list of the 7000 series pricing and how it compares to the new Best Buy leaks referenced above.
- 7950X: $699 – $100 more expensive
- 7900X: $549 – $100 more expensive
- 7700X: $399 – $40 more expensive
- 7600X: $299 – $20 more expensive
These price changes line up with previous claims that the 9000 series would indeed be cheaper – though they were originally sourced from a Chinese retailer, so the conversion to dollars was probably a little more generous. Either way, it seems like great news for all AMD fans, especially with more on the way as people turn away from Intel.
