AMD Ryzen 5000 ZEN3 CPU prices spotted in EU webshops
It's not exactly a secret what the USD prices are for the new Ryzen 5000 series, as AMD announced these. But in the U it's always a little wait and tell what the final prices will be due to VAT and well, price hikes of etailers.
The first etailers are now listing the new processors, sone in the UK, one in Finland, Netherlands, and also a Portuguese etailer. And yeah, it's too soon to tell as etailers really like to jack up process closer to release dates in order to maximize their profit.

The Ryzen 9 5950X is listed at a starting price of 830 euros. The rest of the chips differ in price from both the regular predecessors and the XT variants introduced slightly later. The 5600X, 5800X, 5900X, and 5950X are listed at several webshops. My colleagues at HWI posted a nice overview, have a peek:

Holy crap we Dutch are f***ed.
Maybe i'll just get a Ryzen 3000 then.
why the price is so high in Netherlands ?????
I'm guessing since the Nertherland (and Ireland) are tax havens inside Europe (ruining other countries' opportunities), the government needs to get finance from other places, so other seemingly unrelated things end up being more expensive.
Without a European-wide physicality, there's no way other countries will be able to compete with tax haven countries, and if all countries turn to tax havens, Europe will end up being the mess that the US is.

Expensive (kind of) but if the independent reviewers show that there's enough performance to back the price, then they are what they are.
I'll be skipping this generation altogether since I'm on an X370 board, though a drop on the 3xxx series prices would make them a good investment before moving to a new platform in 2021.
A 3700x at around 220€ in a month or two would be a fair deal.

It's Central point, the day that other etailers start listing prices will drop as they've always have. This news item is more about the exorbitant prices etailers will try to charge in the initial launch wave and pre-order.

That's the most ridiculous theory I've heard in a long time. Just no.

Was hoping the 5000 series would push the 3000 series prices down, but this does not look like that would be the case.
Hopefully these prices are just temporary higher then normal to grab all the "first" buyers during the high demand, low stock launch period.
You have to wait for them to actually come available, usually takes a couple months before price drops too.
I think AMD has positioned Ryzen 5000 not to replace but to play alongside Ryzen 3000.
You want price drops? Wait till January, that's probably when we will hear about Ryzen 5600 (non X) and maybe price cuts.
