Ryzen 3 pricing from OCUK

My ancient 3770k (bought 7 years ago) still seems to fetch more than £100 on The Bay. So you might be waiting a decade or more for that particular dream to come true. :)

That might be true. The Ryzen 1700 dropped to £140 in just 2 years while it's Intel equivalent still costs hundreds.

Intel chips do hold their price while AMD chips seem to become worthless very quickly.

Hopefully AMD chips will hold their price now with the huge improvements to the 3000 series.
 
I've seen people upgrade to overpriced older i7's when selling off their current rig and building a new system would be cheaper and result in a much better and future-ready PC. People will always choose the easier route I guess.

AMD don't drop support for old motherboards anywhere near as quickly as Intel so you end up with them still being able to buy a new cpu 2-3 years down the line when they need to upgrade. On Intel if you decide 3 years down the line to upgrade your i3 on the cheap you'll pay a ridiculous price due to supply and demand.
 
One online shop in China listed the price for 3700x - RMB 2599 (£300) or RMB 2419 (£279) if you pre-order

Also have prices for 5700 RMB 3000 and 5700XT RMB 3600

They cant be after the CPU's go on sale lol. Imagine a consumer being able to buy something, test it and post the review all before actual media can? Makes zero sense. Something being on general sale but people being under NDA not to talk about it lol.

Well that's a bargain! Wonder what bundles ocuk are gonna put up, i'll need a new board, ram and waterblock!

Lol, why is it a bargain? It's literally MSRP. i.e. the Price AMD set as recommended selling price.
Nothing wrong with it! but how is it a "bargain"?

Honestly it's comments like this that make it so clear why Nvidia think they can do what they do.

tbh i was expecting a higher price following on with how intel does things it was only going to rub off on the competition to join the "club". I never upgraded my rig to the newer platform purely because pricing got so ridiculous! My last expensive purchase was a £400 gtx680 and i thought that was abit of a joke tbh and seeing how things are now with intel and nvidia i wasn't wrong.

I'm sure they'll both be lifted at the same time.

I already know I'll simply go to Techpowerup, GamersNexus and Techspot to check their overall gaming performance and decide what to do.

After so many years with Haswell, the last thing I want is to see everything sold out :/

If neither 3800X or 3900X is as good than the 9700k, I'll go for that.
