AMD Ryzen and Threadripper Prices Over The Weekend Dropped Significantly
There is something going on, at the time of writing I can only speak for the EU and specifically Netherlands and Germany right now, but there have been price drops spotted on AMD Ryzen processors up-to 30%, Example, you can purchase an 8-core flagship Ryzen 7 1800X processor (normally €499) for roughly €340 euros.
The news reaches us through our Dutch colleagues at HWI, who had a couple of users notice it. They checked some Dutch and Germany based etailers. I took the search results towards Geizehals as well and noticed even lower prices. If this applies to your region, now might be a great time to purchase something Ryzen. The price drop seems to have an effect on the entire range. The below table courtesy to HWI shows the prices based on the Netherlands, however, if you browse for a 1800X at Geizhals, be surprised. €249 for 16 threads? €199 for 12 threads :-)
Maybe this is gearing up towards Black Friday sales? It'll be interesting to see if other EU etailers will follow soon, but something is brewing alright:
| Ryzen 7 | Ryzen 5 | Threadripper | |||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1800X | 1700X | 1700 | 1600X | 1600 | 1500X | 1950X | 1920X | 1900X | |
| Recommended retail price | $ 499 | $ 399 | $ 329 | $ 249 | $ 219 | $ 189 | $ 999 | $ 799 | $549 |
| Average price | € 479 | € 369 | € 317 | € 249 | € 216 | € 191 | € 1021 | € 809 | € 549 |
| Cheapest price | € 340 | € 290 | € 249 | € 214 | € 199 | € 169 | € 830 | € 670 | € 470 |
| Discount | 29% | 21% | 21% | 14% | 8% | 12% | 19% | 17% | 14% |
Update: we have received reports from the Nordics and the UK that the price drops are in effect there as well. USA Newegg is also showing lower prices. And a report from Australia just came in as well, this is a worldwide price drop. We asked, but AMD has no comments currently on what we are seeing.

I can get a 1700x for €269+like €10-15shipping new!! WOW!
So tempted to cancel my 2 orders of 8600k(€300) and 8700k(€430).
€430 for 8700k ? wth, i paid 352 euros 2 weeks ago and i thought that was expensive ! in dollars its around $ 415 (still move expensive than US MSRP price).
As for Ryzen, 1800X is € 452 here, awful price.

Oculus and Microsoft Mixed Reality (Lenovo's) for wife and me.

Did someone say MicroCenter? I live near one. Too bad I already built my Coffee Lake system. That 1700X at $230 (as of this post) is probably the sweetest deal.

Big price cuts on Newegg.ca as well. Great time for those who've been looking to upgrade.
Newegg.ca has a CyberPower 900 watt unit for $169 CAD (which is about $131 USD). I bought one of these for each of my Ryzen systems, which I use for both BOINC and gaming.

Unfortunately GPU prices are also bad. Aside from the fact they're also influenced by the RAM prices, the miners have been inflating prices too. Meanwhile, high-end PSUs have also been getting more expensive, which has been annoying for me since I've been looking to get a ~1KW unit for my BOINC rig.

Awesome prices on newegg.com for Ryzen 7 1700X @ only $279US Dollars Black Friday flyer = https://promotions.newegg.com/nepro/17-7446/index.html#p=4 , deal of the year for a massive 16 threaded cpu
Just thinking i paid $400US Dollars for mine on release date
, that's $120US Dollars in savings for a nice AM4 Motherboard.

AMD's master plan:
- Sell Ryzen cheaply
- Make people buy AM4 board
- Boost 30% performance per core with new upgraded Ryzen
- Obviously supports AM4
- People buy new AMD CPUs for upgrade

My BOINC rig is made of spare and unwanted parts, and is only being used to help heat up my apartment. That being said, I don't care enough about it to spend anywhere near that much for 900W. Despite that this PC would've been worth roughly $3000 new back in 2011*, I spent roughly $600 total on it. I am not by any means undermining your choice, but I don't care about efficiency ratings, circuit protection, construction quality, modularity, number of rails, fan loudness, LEDs, etc. All I care about is if it supports 2x 8-pin PCIe power connectors, 2x 6-pin PCIe connectors, is not a white-label, and can sustain at least 750W of load at hours at a time.
I've sincerely considered getting one of those Pico PSUs along with a server PSU (which are 12v-only) since they're extremely cheap, reliable, and efficient, but the cost-effective PicoPSUs aren't suitable for overclocked CPUs, and the PSU converters are oddly expensive. Besides, server PSU fans tend to be pretty obnoxious. Fan noise isn't a big deal to me, but I have my limits. So it's been kind of annoying.

Even though this PC has a lot of old parts, amazingly, my CPU completes workloads about 25% faster than the average contributor's, and, one of my GPUs (a FirePro V7900) can finish milkyway@home workloads in about 2:30 - not bad for a single-slot 6-year-old GPU that I bought for $35.

Yes they went down big-time,No better time to upgrade then now.Speaking for myself that is.
