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:
