AMD Ryzen 7 CPUs Get up to 23% Price Cut

Update – 06/06/2017

Reports suggest AMD are making price cuts. However, an AMD representative has contacted us and stated that this is not the case.

“We have noted some speculative articles appearing commenting on AMD’s pricing following Computex and would like to reiterate that Ryzen 7 and Ryzen 5 pricing remains unchanged. Any promotional deals or special pricing on Ryzen processors is partner/retailer driven within their business.”

The good news is that while AMD may not be cutting prices, retailers are pushing the product harder than ever right now. It mean’s that this is a great time to buy, but the current prices may go back up again until there are (if there are) any official changes to the MSRP.

Ryzen 7 – 23% Price Cut

Ryzen 7 1800X, 1700X, and 1700 are all going cheap on Amazon and Newegg right now, while even greater bargains are to be found on eBay. The Ryzen 7 1800X and 1700X are selling on eBay for $429.99 (potentially cheaper using the Best Offer option) and $309.99, respectively. That’s a 17% drop on the 1800X’s $499 launch MSRP and a 23% price cut on the $399 launch MSRP of the 1700X.

AMD Ryzen 7 CPUs Get up to 23% Price Cut

Earlier this month, we speculated that Ryzen’s high fabrication yields could equal price drops. That prediction seems to have come true. However, there is no indication that these price cuts are permanent. So, if you want a Ryzen 7, you’d better get shopping now.

What is Threadripper?

Threadripper is AMD’s monstrous new 16 core, 32 thread desktop CPU. The chip boasts support for quad-channel DDR4 and 64 PCIe Gen3 lanes. We were there for AMD’s Threadripper reveal at Computex this week. According to AMD, the new processor launches “this Summer”. AMD has not announced an official price and release date.
