AMD has significantly reduced the prices of its recently launched Ryzen 9000 Zen 5 desktop CPUs, with discounts reaching up to 12% within just a month of their release. The price cuts cover the entire lineup, including the high-end Ryzen 9 9950X and 9900X, as well as the mid-range Ryzen 7 9700X and Ryzen 5 9600X.
Multiple retailers, including Micro Center, Amazon, and eBay, have dropped prices to clear out existing stock, possibly in anticipation of the upcoming Ryzen 9000X3D versions. As of now, the Ryzen 9 9900X is available for $439.99 at Micro Center, a 12% drop from its original price.
Despite offering higher energy efficiency, the Ryzen 9000 series has faced criticism due to performance issues on Windows 11 24H2, including latency problems and system crashes. However, AMD has been actively working on patches to improve gaming performance and overall stability.
Retailers have also been offering bundled deals to enhance the value proposition of these CPUs, but further price adjustments are likely as we approach the release of the Ryzen 9000X3D CPUs later this year. For those considering a new build, it may be wise to wait for additional discounts.
The AMD Ryzen 9000 CPUs are now more affordable than their predecessors, but potential buyers should keep an eye out for further price reductions and software updates that could address current performance issues.
