Compared to the Ryzen 5 7600X, the new processor's acceleration clock frequency is 100 MHz higher, though its base clock frequency is 800 MHz lower. The predecessor, Ryzen 5 7600X, was released in September 2022 and is currently priced at 184.99 Canadian dollars (approximately 138 USD). This significant price increase for the Ryzen 5 9600X raises questions, yet also can simply be an early listing priced improperly. Performance-wise, the Ryzen 5 9600X offers a 15% increase in single-core performance and a 14% improvement in multi-core performance compared to the Ryzen 5 7600X. This enhancement is attributed to the higher acceleration clock frequency and architectural improvements in the new series.

We doubt very much this will end up being the proper pricing.
