AMD Ryzen and Threadripper Prices Over The Weekend Dropped Significantly

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:

Average price € 479 € 369 € 317 € 249 € 216 € 191 € 1021 € 809 € 549

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.

As a Ryzen user (since it launched), i can say that these are best CPU deals i have seen in a very long time. As a 1440p gamer i can say that the performance (in my case r5 1600x) is superb. Plus video encoding and all other tasks that take advantage of having more core. Though i should have bought the non-x version as it is a better value for money and has minimum to no difference in performance. Looking at the price drops 1700(x) is probably the best deal on the market, unless you are on a really tight budget.
If the prices stay like this though, we could be seeing a refresh, but i personally doubt that.

The buzz is Intel is about to deliver massive backordered 8700k cpu's to their customers. And since the release of the series, AMD sales have been anemic. As others have stated AMD is cleaning out their inventory of first generation Ryzen/TR. In preparation of starting info campaign on second generation Ryzen. AMD is notorious for being slow on the draw on product delivery. Looks like they have their ducks in a row for this series coming up reportedly first Quarter of 2018. With Intel pulling a rabbit out of their ass with the 8th gen, AMD is spinning up a little earlier and good for us.

I would be happy to upgrade to Ryzen 2 if it comes with sufficient single core/thread performance.
