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.
| CPU | Cores / Threads | Clock speed/turbo (GHz) | Cache (total) | PCIe lanes CPU+x570 chiplet) |
MSRP |
| Series 5000 | |||||
| Ryzen 9 5950X | 16/32 | 3.4 / 4.9 | 72MB | tba | $799 |
| Ryzen 9 5900X | 12/24 | 3.7 / 4.8 | 70MB | tba | $549 |
| Ryzen 7 5800X | 8/16 | 3.8 / 4.7 | 36MB | tba | $449 |
| Ryzen 5 5600X | 6/12 | 3.7 / 4.5 | 35MB | tba |
$299 |
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:

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.

Not worth it whatsoever. The 8 core is basically the same price the 9900K was here where I live, and even without having to buy a new mobo for it I deemed that to be way overpriced. I got my 8700K just a month or so after the official launch at 345-ish EU. If these corporations cannot offer me more cores with better performance at the same price, there's no reason i should feed them my money.
And what a horrible buy those were:
https://www.guru3d.com/articles-pages/review-core-2-duo-e6600-e6700-x6800,11.html
This is a good history lesson for people that jump on overpriced trash. E6600, similar performance, 1/3 of the price, 2006 release
Seeing as the 5900XT is 48$ more expensive than the 3900XT but 26% faster, it's totally worth it.
Especially for someone like me who do other things besides playing games. I get the best of both worlds.
The 3900X is actually an even better deal, but since I already have one I will settle for a 5900X.
Depending on the tardiness of Asus I will possibly get a new MSI MAG X570 Tomahawk board as well.

If you actually need it, sure.
What most of you guys seem to ignore or miss is that we've had decade(s?) of getting vastly superior products often at lower price. GTX970 vs the 780ti. 1070 vs 980ti. Core 2 Duo vs the P4 and FX. HD 4850 vs the 8800 GTX.
Corporations are not your friend and should be put back on that path. It's far more important we get good prices than corporations making always increasing profits. Customers should care for customers, not megacorps.

This is correct. Many european countries include VAT in their pricing, i believe by law. Whereas the US does not include sales tax in any of their pricing on any website ever, partially due to the fact that every state is different (some don't have sales tax but have income tax and pay their taxes on what they buy even if they don't spend money on a taxable item) and there's zero laws requiring that information on the products themselves, you get that information on checkout.
Heck, they aren't even different from state to state, but city to city.
I live in Alaska, where there are no sales tax, however the city i live in does have sales tax, so i have to pay taxes on anything i buy. I use to live in Montana, also a place without sales tax, but i went to a city there as well that also charged sales tax on everything.
Lived in washington state as well, where there is a state-wide sales tax, but every city you went to, you were paying the state sales tax + city sales tax and therefore a different amount of taxes based off of what city you lived in/were shopping in.
Really, really matters where specifically you live in the US to determine how much taxes you are ultimately paying on a product.
That's what I used to think but it's all about the VAT. Take the 5950X as example and compare it to the Finnish price. It's $800 ~ €677 + a whopping 24% VAT Rate (GG Finland) = €839. Now AFAIK, the USD prices don't include sales tax as not all states have one and they're different from state to state. In my country, the VAT rate is 18% but I will never buy electronics from here because shops add a minimum of €100 to the price. So computeruniverse is the saviour since you can buy at the VAT rate of your shipping location even though the etailer is located in Germany (GG computeruniverse).
