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:

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.
