AMD just revealed its Ryzen 9000 CPU prices, and they’re disappointing

All 4 of them are cheaper than the launch price of their 7000 series counterparts. That's quite good really!
The AMD Ryzen 7 9700X price is $359, which is a good $40 cheaper than the Ryzen 7 7700X
Sounds good to me
- Disappointing for share stock holders.
  
  I think they're just counting their blessings they aren't holding Intel stock rn
  
  More people may buy them at lower prices, so it doesn't translate to worse sales...
  Amd is quite expensive, that's what it's down so much. Their stocks are more expensive than Nvidia which is why it's falling behind so much.
These are cheaper than the last two generations were, seems good
I mean 5600x was like $300 when it came out.
- Good cpu for most gaming that can be had for 200 bucks. That 3d version is prolly still gaming value sweet spot.
  
  I mean sure, and their lineup has changed with the x3d chips, but I just mean $279 for the x600x line isn't the most expensive they have launched at. I don't see how it is a 'dissappointing' announcement, especially when the prices are naturally going to settle at a lower price most likely after launch anyhow.

  Hello fellow homelabber
Why is that disappointing?
They just don't outperform the 7000 series and they are kind of more expensive. I guess you can PBO them and get 15% out of them at similar power consumption but that isn't great for the price difference.
