Zen 4 drops below 300 euros!
The Ryzen 7000 processor has been on the market since late September. However, the price of the platform was relatively high due to the exclusive use of DDR5. Apparently AMD is now bucking this and lowering CPU prices.
with Zen 4 and AM5 AMD introduced an all-new platform in September for the first time in years. A special feature of AM5 is its use of DDR5. Although the manufacturer is using the latest standard, it is increasing the total cost of the socket at the same time. As a result, AM5 has a rather difficult time compared to Raptor Lake CPUs, since it is also possible to use cheaper DDR4.
Apparently AMD has reacted to this situation, because Prices for all Ryzen 7000 models have dropped significantly. Especially the price The Ryzen 9 7950X is around 130 euros Dropped in a week. As a result, the CPU costs “only” 649 euros. The price development for the 7950X looks like this:
The price drop will make AMD’s AM5 platform more attractive again, with lower motherboard prices also an important factor. Currently the cheapest AM5 board is lying around Just below the 200 euro mark. Unfortunately, there are currently no really cheap models, known from the AM4.
