If you'd like to purchase a Ryzen 7 7700X 8-core/16-thread processor built on the Zen 4 architecture, now might be a good time as you can spot it for $299
The 105 W 7700X is now priced at $299, which puts it below the 65 W 7700 that launched at $325. This could result in the 7700 becoming even more affordable in the future with the X3D series arriving soon. AMD has made itself more competitive against Intel's 13th Gen Core i5 models like the i5-13600 and i5-13500 6P+8E. In fact, this $100 price reduction has now made the Ryzen 7 7700X the cheapest it has ever been since it was listed.
AMD gears up to launch its first Ryzen 7000X3D processors, the upgraded Ryzen 7 8-core model with 3D V-Cache will arrive on April 6th. This means that the 8-core Zen4 CPU without this cache is now $150 cheaper than the upcoming X3D model.
The Ryzen 9 7950X3D and Ryzen 9 7900X3D processors will be on sale beginning February 28th, and the Ryzen 7 7800X3D will be available on April 6th.
