AMD Drops Ryzen CPU Prices Bigtime - By Up to 30 Percent
AMD is reducing prices on a lot of SKUs in the Ryzen processor lineup, in an attempt to attack Intel. Not every Ryzen and Threadripper processor is getting a price reduction, one processor is even seeing a price reduction of 30 percent. These are significant reductions.
The new prices still need to kick in on a global scale but on sites like Amazon you can already see the reduction. Basically, the entire Ryzen 7-series lineup can be spotted under a sub $350 marker, and that includes the flagship 1800X, the 1700X at $309, and the 1700 non-X at $299 (my personal favorite 8-core part price/perf ratios wise).
Another one of my favorites is the Ryzen 5 1600, that one sees a reduction of 14%, a 6-core 12-threaded part at 189 SD now, that's golden value. Have a peek at the table below, also added are the new G (embedded Vega) parts, prices on these are not yet available:
Processor | Cores/Threads | Old Price | New Price | Reduction |
---|---|---|---|---|
Threadripper 1950X | 16/32 | $999 | $999 | |
Threadripper 1920X | 12/24 | $799 | $799 | |
Threadripper 1900X | 8/16 | $549 | $449 | 18% |
Ryzen 7 1800X | 8/16 | $499 | $349 | 30% |
Ryzen 7 1700X | 8/16 | $399 | $309 | 22.5% |
Ryzen 7 1700 | 8/16 | $329 | $299 | 9% |
Ryzen 5 1600X | 6/12 | $249 | $219 | 12% |
Ryzen 5 1600 | 6/12 | $219 | $189 | 14% |
Ryzen 5 1500X | 4/8 | $189 | $174 | 8% |
Ryzen 5 2400G | 4/8 | $169 | ||
Ryzen 3 1300X | 4/4 | $129 | $129 | |
Ryzen 3 2200G | 4/4 | $99 |

I guess they are clearing stocks ahead of any Zen refresh, some pretty good deals there.

I already grabbed my 1600 at that price on black Friday so I'm happy. But this is the time to jump on a new platform if u haven't and don't mind paying as much for ram as u do a cup.
