Newegg Selling AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D for $557

[T0@st]

Newegg is currently running a time limited offer on AMD's flagship Ryzen 9 7950X3D CPU—the base price sits at $662, but a promotional voucher can be applied at checkout that removes $105. Amazon USA price matched the competition earlier today—via their own voucher system—but stock allocation of the powerful desktop processor appears to be sold out. North American customers eager to acquire an attractively priced Ryzen 9 7950X3D soon-ish will have to do business with Newegg.

The latest $557 deal is certainly more generous when compared to a campaign run by the American online retailer back in May, albeit via their Ebay store—several Ryzen 7000X3D-series CPUs were discounted at the time, perhaps in reaction to bad publicity swirling around the product lineup (referring to accounts of hardware burnouts). The Ryzen 9 7950X3D was reduced to a previous all-time low of $629.99. Perhaps public perception of AMD's top flight models has not improved all that much since then (plus other economical factors), and very deep discounts are necessary to attract customers. A Newegg mini-store page recently revealed a forthcoming "Starfield Game Bundle Promotion," that will apply to all Ryzen 7000-series CPUs. The AMD + Bethesda initiative will probably kick in closer to the game's September 6 launch date.

What a deal.

Are CPUs immune to inflation and TSMC wafer cost increases? Because thats what everyone talks about when trying to justify current GPU pricing

No, there's just good competition in CPUs performance wise.

GPUs are largely a monopoly, with some 5-10% taken by AMD and Intel.

GPU, Nvidia getting revenue from pro, LLMs. Looking at ChatGPT starting to fall away possibly..?

Without that LLM demand I'd expect GPU prices to fall more than CPUs are....

This one helluva deal. I'll be looking for this kind of pricing when the 8950X3D drops to replace my 5950X.

Ive bought items from amazon.uk and im in the US, so no big issue, Canada users just buy it from amazon.com

It looks like computer sales are grossly down this year.

GPUs on the other hand: everyone's building AI servers and such, so GPUs cannot be made fast enough.

nVidia is just greedy and has a lot of fans (just look at the pathetic defence of DLSS) then you have the army of the so called reviewers doing nVidia's marketing. AMD just follows the price set by nVidia, anyways few people buy their products.

Great offer for people wanting great gaming performance without too much sacrifice in MT.
