THE prices of the long-awaited processors AMD Ryzen 9000 “Zen 5” They’ve finally been confirmed, at least unofficially, and they look decidedly more appealing than their predecessors, the Ryzen 7000 “Zen 4” ones.
The prices of the new Ryzen 9000 processors, revealed by online retailers such as BestBuy (although the pages are no longer accessible, prices are still visible via Google searches), are as follows:
- Ryzen 9 9950X: $599 (versus $699 for the 7950X)
- Ryzen 9 9900X: $449 (versus $549 for the 7900X)
- Ryzen 7 9700X: $359 (versus $399 for the 7700X)
- Ryzen 5 9600X: $279 (versus $299 for the 7600X)
The Ryzen 9 9950Xthe flagship processor with 16 cores and 32 threads, is expected to outperform Intel’s Core i9-14900K and Core i9-14900KS, both of which are more expensive and have issues with power consumption and instability. The Ryzen 9 9950X aims to be the fastest chip for multi-threaded tasks and also promises great gaming performance.
Even the Ryzen 9 9900Xpriced at $449, is an interesting option, capable of putting pressure on Intel’s Core i7-14700K. Plus, the new Zen 5 architecture promises lower power consumption and temperatures than the competition.
The Ryzen 7 9700Xpriced at $359, is intended to be the choice for gamers. Recent tests have revealed that this processor is slightly faster than the Ryzen 7 7800X3D, currently the best chip for gaming, despite having a TDP of only 65W. Finally, the Ryzen 5 9600Xpriced at $279, offers excellent value for the mainstream segment of the AM5 platform.
With these competitive prices and promising performance, AMD seems ready to conquer a significant slice of the desktop market, especially in light of the problems that Intel is facing with its current line of processors, with the concrete risk of permanent damage for the 13th and 14th generation CPUs. We recall in closing that the release of the new Ryzen 9000 processors has been postponed by a few days, perhaps due to a trivial error.
