The flagship 16-core model Ryzen 9 7950X fell the most. Now it is offered by AMD itself for $574, which is $125 less than the original price ($699). This is a very significant discount for a processor that went on sale less than two months ago. Other processors of the new series have also fallen in price, and the most affordable chip for Socket AM5 currently costs $ 249 – that’s how much they ask for a six-core Ryzen 5 7600X.

It seems that AMD is trying to increase interest in their new products until Intel releases lower Raptor Lake models with a locked multiplier (without the “K” suffix in the name).
