AMD has announced the prices for all four upcoming Ryzen processors on X.

A good two months after the announcement of the Ryzen 9000 processors, AMD has now revealed the prices on X.

These are slightly higher than indicated by the first retailers, but lower than the comparative prices of the Ryzen 7000 processors at launch.

According to AMD, the prices are as follows:

  • AMD Ryzen 9 9600X: 279 US dollars
  • AMD Ryzen 9 9700X: 359 US dollars
  • AMD Ryzen 9 9900X: 499 US dollars
  • AMD Ryzen 9 9950X: 649 US dollars

The prices in euros are not yet known.They will probably be higher, as prices in the USA are traditionally quoted without VAT.

AMD also announces details on the individual processors:

Ryzen 9 9950X 16 cores
32 threads
5.7 GHz
max boost
80 MB cache 170W 649 US dollars
Ryzen 9 9900X 12 cores
24 threads

Ryzen 9 9700X 8 cores

Ryzen9 9600X 6 cores

Comparing the prices with the Ryzen 7 series processors, it is noticeable that they are offered at a slightly lower price. Buyers save between 20 and 50 dollars in comparison

It is not yet clear whether this will also apply to the eurozone.

The two cheapest processors in the new Ryzen 9 series will be available in stores on August 8, 2024. Ryzen 9 9900X and 9950X will follow a week later, on August 15, 2024.

The review embargo ends today, meaning that the first tests will be published later today, including here. For gamers, the performance of the new processors compared to the Ryzen 7 processors is likely to be the most important factor.

However, motherboards from the new 800 series will not be available at launch.
