AMD Zen 5 rumours

[Perfect_Chaos]

X3D will be in demand much more now Intel has shown they are slower with arrow lake.

Guess it depends on the chip and what changes they made to Zen 5 X3D chips, if it affects the 12 and 16 core chips that makes them better than Zen 4, otherwise the difference will be minimal.

7950X3D is a good price currently, but it's got the issues that people talk about that makes the 8 core chip a bit better for games

 

[Rroff]

ooof that's hard to stomach

Makes me laugh when the 14700K(F) will generally be within margin of error with the graphics cards and settings people will pair a CPU like that up with, is much faster for anything non-gaming and can be had for just over £300 currently from reputable places.

Or something like the 12700K is under half the price and not hideously behind outside of 1080p gaming.

Guess the 9800X3D will be £500 considering the 7800X3D is now back to it’s launch price of £450, if anything it’s actually more expensive than launch given the exchange rate was 1.24 back then while it’s 1.31 today.

My basket at OcUK:

• 1 x AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D Eight Core 5.00GHz (Socket AM5) Processor - Retail (SKU: CP-3DT-AM) = £449.99
• 1 x AMD Ryzen - Space Marine & Unknown 9 Awakening Games Bundle (SKU: DIG-AMD-02908) = £0.00

Total: £449.99 (includes delivery: £0.00)​

wtf at that price!, that's back up to its normal price.

I bet its to make the 9800X3D better "value" when comparing the 2.

 

[Nitefly]

lol who is buying at that price… ><

 

[rare]

Ridiculous price.

I hate this hobby sometimes. Very few other consumer goods have pricing like this. You wouldn’t see Sony raise the price of a PS5 after it’s been lowered for example.

Get the impression zen 4 production has been drastically reduced or stopped entirely.

 

[Rob_B]

oh that's just taking the mickey now, isn't that over RRP ?

Would not surprise me, I know they have done this with the 5800X3D as well.

The 7800X3D has gone up £135 since I have been watching these on OCUK. Cheapest I saw they where £315

I wouldn’t expect so with the current node squeeze at TSMC.

 

[Minstadave]

Given the price cuts in the 7950X3D I've no idea why you'd buy the 7800X3D. I seem to remember you could disable the non X3D cores on the 7950X3D if you were worried about scheduling anyway.

 

[TrojanWhore]

Wow ok... I looked late last night and they were £398, up £50 in twelve hours!

What's even more laughable to me is that the 8 core is now more expensive than the 12

7950x3d still a pretty good price, but that's gone up £20 since last night as well

 

[humbug]

In the days before Black Friday events the price of everything goes up so that on the event day it all looks discounted. Its really manipulative cynical BS.

The 9800X3D is landing soon and probably at £450, at which point they will bring the 7800X3D back down to £400 (which is still more expense than the £350 i have seen it at) but it will look like its been discounted as previous gen stock, in reality its still over priced.

Its retailers who do this.

 

[humbug]

There is another problem, when Ryzen 9000 was reviewed you know what exploded in sales? The 7800X3D, retailers capitalise on that which is why it went from £350 to £400.

On OCUK it went from £350 to £390 then to £399 to now £450

Maybe but but the DIY community seem to have throughly convinced themselves the 7800X3D is the only option. The 7800X3D is an extremely impressive part to fair. The performance on offer for 70ish watts is just plain bonkers.

 

[humbug]

AMD are also not blameless in this, at the request of retailers they don't make official price drops, the reasons for those requests don't need explaining, AMD only announce price drops on products if they are under pressure from tech jurnoes and actually bad sales.

People are more than willing to pay silly amounts for the absolute best, just look at Nvidia, or Intel before they started ******** the bed.
