Ryzen 3 pricing from OCUK

VaderGB · 20 Jun 2019 at 10:02

Guys,

I bought my last CPU/Mobo from here as few years ago. Do any of the regulars know if OCUK will have pre-order pricing for the new Ryzen 3's and 570 Motherboards?

It would be nice to know I had bagged a Ryzen 3 and Board prior to the rush on 7/7.

Thanks,

Adam

I'm interested in this as well...

Only two and a half weeks to go. If they're are going to it will have to be soon!!

One and a half weeks, until pre orders open on the 1st July.
I prefer to wait for some reviews first, before upgrading, instead of rushing out on release day and getting the first batch of the new tech.

I just don't understand people pre ordering when there's no independent reviews yet???

You wouldn't buy a car without a test drive, why buy a CPU that nobody has got to publicly review/test??

CPU bit different from a car. Most of the stats are fairly predictable. Ryzen 1 to 2 to 3, an evolution to improve the product.

. Unlikely to have regressed in any way + can always return it if something bad is revealed. OCUK I think sometimes do early bird discounts with help from the manufacturer.

I, too, find this fashion of NDA til release very stupid. NDA should be lifted at least few days before release so people can read some reviews. If you are buying on 7th without reading the reviews first, it is a bit silly to be honest.

On some low price stuff now and again................maybe. On a major cpu architecture change that could change the whole cpu market ? Not a cat in hell's chance. OCUK will gouge it for all it's worth, just like all the other etailers.

They'll be in full 'hype and gouge mode' for Ryzen and Navi/NV Super, they'll see July/August as another Black Friday/Christmas period.

the dollar price of the ryzens will be the same or more in £ i.e. 3600 $199 = £200-220

could maybe be £180 if you're optimistic but as its beating the 8700k I doubt it

This^

It will be the most expensive here as well. This is why I buy elsewhere.

Who ever gouges the least will get my money, unless everyone has ridiculous prices, then I will wait.

July 7th you can buy and we shall have in stock. No pre-orders, just hard launch July 7th.

No preorder means prices will be high. Having a high priced preorder means nobody will buy. It'll scary buyers away. I've seen this strategy before. Less excited now knowing there is no preorder

Are B450 and X470 boards still in the supply channel? will you keep stock replenished, the MSI Tomahawk is out of stock, you getting new ones in?

This is a standard launch.
Pre-orders aren't really a thing for PC hardware as I've said over the last few months about Ryzen 3XXX and I've been proved right.

All older stock seems to be basically EOL, or at least vacant.
It's a struggle to buy AM4 boards. Hopefully there's other stuff in the OEM channel as our College is ordering potentially a bit of AMD kit.

400 series stock looks better now than it did a few days ago, i'm hoping Gibbo will keep replenishing stock because i have a feeling X570 is going to be out of reach for a good chunk of Ryzen 3000 buyers.

I mean if you're spending £200 to £250 on a CPU you're not spending £200 on a board for it.

Come july 7th we'll see. I'd put money on it that prices will be very high here

Exactly. AMD will shoot themselves in the foot.

We've already been given the official pricing from AMD.
After conversion and tax I'd put it at £450 for the 3900X.

If OCUK don't have pre orders, I'd put money on no pre orders anywhere else legitimate as they're not really a thing.
