LOL, AMD is milking early adopters so hard right now...
cucaulay malkin
who wouldn't, people are so hard for am5 they'll pay any premium. I still think non-3d early adopters were milked even worse. 400eur for mainstream 8/16 on 300eur x670 boards ? no problem. At least that 7900x3d/7950x3d will last you 5 years for any purpose. 7700x/7700 are already beaten by 13600k.
Still have nothing around 300eur to beat the i5, but apparently that's no problem if you can get a 7800x3d for 600eur retail.
A 16 core 3d cache zen4 for 600 usd is absolutely amazing though. Wish they had something even remotely close in terms of value at 300 too. Maybe the 7700x should drop, but it's still 350 eur atm and beaten by a cheaper 13600k (and 5800x3d). Just matching the 13600k price would be enough, it's just 5-10% slower in games and applications, but offers better socket longevity.

Strange that AMD would already discount the 7950X3D.
From what I heard from some consumers and stores, demand is higher than supply.
The one that isn't that appealing is the 7900X3D.
Maddness
Since the initial batch of 7950x3D, they have not been in stock in my country at all. The 7900x3D never interested me as the 7950x was cheaper.

Yep, for a mix of work & gaming, 7950X3D I can understand but 7900X3D with 2 CCD's that have 6 cores each? Nah.

I'm not complaining about the drop in prices, I think it's very good for the gamer scene, I hope it drops even more, but in fact those who invested a week ago are not being rewarded by the brand... I got a 7900X3D - on April 2nd for 584.99 on Amazon (AMD Store). I guess it would be fair to get at least a $ 45 discount/gift card on my account, I will ask about that on Amazon customer service... I m not complaining about the prices getting lower at all:-)

Early adopters are always milked, they pay a premium to be first.
Just look at GPUs, the 4090 was released for more than 2.000€, now it can be found slightly below 1.800€, the 4080 was 1.500€ now it can be found arounr 1.350€, the same situation with the 7900XTX.
As for discounting these CPUs so soon, it´s kinda of strange but good for those who want them.

AM5 really needs a faster addoption rate so every price discount is welcome. Even on guru3d not many users have upgraded. People only talk about 5800x3d here. 😀
Horus-Anhur
That's because AM4 had a pretty good run.
Lot's of people still have a system with AM4 and DDR4, so the 5800X3d is a no brainer for most people.

AMD is responding to the market pressure from Intel's cost cutting moves from winter.
Intel has basically undercut chipset prices for the same classes of chipsets, making AMD mobos even more expensive by comparison, as well as flooding the mainstream sector w/ I-5's & 7's of the last two gens.
you literally have to work twice as hard going through the B series to find AMD and it's only easier at the higher end with X and Z chipsets... but wait now we have two flavors of E boards for AMD users to get confused by. what the actual F to the non-guru average guy.
and we have to remember to flash the bios on all B series boards for 3D cache.
imho, it was the inelegant release of information regarding the scheduling that made many think AMD stepped on their dick so AMD is cutting prices.
but as with Nvidia mysteriously finding $100 to cut the price of the 4070ti after a shite storm AMD is following suit with 7950/00 X3D

Exactly! - the problem is that AMD made AM4 THAT good.
I see no reason (yet) to drop my trusty 5950X (with PBO enabled goes at 5 Ghz on two cores) and the memory: G.Skill DDR4 3600 32GB C14 TZ Royal Elite K2 - the golden ones (bling check!).
Nothing from AMD or Intel is worth the upgrade (for me at least)
Competition is good - now that finally Intel has also some good CPU's in 12th and 13th generation.
Here AM5 CPU's are all in stock with good numbers - no lack of supply.

What. few it smells around here.

5950x is a stellar cpu but regular zen3 cpus without v-cache get smacked left and right by these zen4 cpus in when it comes to ipc and singlethread performance which will translate to gaming increases.
They are just clocked so much higher.

Just booted up a fresh Windows 11 install with a new 7800X3D 😛

imc on zen4 isnt capable going over 6000. Well some are i can do 6200 and thats about it.
We wont see much higher memory freq. until zen5.

Imagine if they already reduce the cost of the 7800X3D in just 1 month from now.

Here is AMD's response to Tom's Hardware:

5800X3D at $300 is a steal.
Will easily last until I look at Intel 14 gen.

Honestly, that's probably the very last chip of the entire series to get a discount. Other than being a little expensive, it's the only one that is particularly interesting to a wide audience. The 7900s are very good but only make sense to people who actually need that many cores, and they're just a bit expensive. The 7900X3Ds only make sense in very specific workloads. Anything lower-end than a 7700X only makes sense for people who are still on DDR3 (or worse) or for mobile. A 7600X3D or 7700X only makes sense if you're upgrading from a PCIe 3.0 platform or worse and you're on a budget.
The 7800X3D is for everyone else.

which is why my work rig (5950x) will be the last to be updated. and even then i typically find a home for the old cpu...but the 5950x would be lord king overkill in a htpc or for my home server
