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
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.
Idk welcome to inflation, also the amount of work going to development of these chips is increasing every generation massively. I don’t like the price but you don’t have to buy the most modern CPU every time a new one is released.
looks around my basement filled with 5-12 year old hardware

Some of my hardware already begins to increase in price again as Vintage 😂
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.
