AMD Announces Star Wars Jedi: Survivor Bundle with Ryzen 7000-series CPUs
From today, until the first of April, AMD will bundle a game code for Star Wars Jedi: Survivor with all of its Ryzen 7000-series CPUs. The promotion appears to be largely global, but limited to certain retailers, so if your favourite shop doesn't offer the bundled game code, you might have to look elsewhere. AMD offers a list on its website with participating retailers and in the US and Canada, this only appears to be Amazon and Newegg, whereas it varies much more widely in other parts of the world.
Oddly enough, many large retailers in various countries are missing and several countries are absent too, especially in Europe, for no apparent reason. What's even stranger, is that AMD doesn't appear to be offering the game code bundle through its own online shop, at least not in Europe. We should also point out that Star Wars Jedi: Survivor doesn't launch until the 17th of March, so if you jump the gun now, you're going to have to wait a few weeks before you'll be able to play the game.

Just my speculation of course, I'm not in marketing.
The Callisto Protocol and Dead Island 2 are included when you get a 6000 series card, but for some reason not included when you opt for either of the 7900 cards. Probably to attract buyers to buy the older products to move inventory.
Same is going for Company of Heroes™ 3 on the 5000 series but not on the 7000 series CPUs. :banghead:
AMD Ryzen 7000 Zen4 CPUs are 5 times less popular than Zen3 according to December retailer sales
Of course platform cost increase, combined with low performance increase is to blame. More expensive motherboards and more expensive memory didn't bring any big increase in performance or usability.
I wonder if people also wanted to wait and see what 3D cache models will bring? 5800X3D proved quite an improvement in gaming, maybe at least enthusiasts are just waiting for that?
