Is that guy still around? I thought he'd quit or something. No sure why anyone would really watch that sort of content anyhow, IIRC it was neither scientific or entertaining.

AMD’s new Ryzen 5 9600X CPU just appeared on sale, and it’s not cheap
The new six-core AMD Zen 5 gaming CPU looks set to have a similar price to the 7600X when it was launched, and that's not good news.

Feel like anyone listing something 2 weeks early is not gonna be a super reliable source for pricing information. And AMD have previously annyed people by not giving the final price till the very last minute. So I'd honestly not trust anyone to know the actual price yet. Lisa herself could give the the price and I'd still wait to see what they actually hit the shelves at.

I saw the price I hope to god its not anywhere near that, I'll hold off a month or 2 but if they are still priced high, pass until x3d drops and get that instead.

Just can't get excited about this launch. On a 5950X and can't be bothered with the 9950X. Will wait for the X3D variant and have a rethink at that point.

That would make it the same price as the 7800X3D, this is clickbait.
Yeap - plus it's mostly going to be huge fanboys buying these, as it's very common knowledge that the X3D versions are just around the corner.

Not sure why they still delay the X3D parts, maybe due to production capacity but I will be waiting until they come out.
Same, with the 7800X3D price going back up and the motherboard also going back up its costing an extra £100.
As I am on no rush I will see if the prices go back down when the new processors come out and decide from there, new boards are not due out until the end of September
Edit - or I will go buy else where

That's AMD for you - overprice everything and then discount it
It's so common now people have to love burning money to buy anything from AMD at launch

Not much competition to drive prices down at the moment.

This time it's even worse though. Zen 5 looks really amazing - though the X3D versions are not releasing a the same time as the base models.
Everyone knows the X3D versions are going to be the CPU's to get and that they're worth waiting for.

TL;DR - This seems little more than a promo/puff piece and doesn't really give us anything new that hasn't already been revealed.
I guess AMD are concerned by the complete lack of hype!

It's an iterative update of a CPU lineup being released in the middle of the summer, not sure there is anything worth hyping.
We'll see crazy levels of hype for Zen5X3D!
