Typically, when one processor manufacturer releases a new generation of CPUs, the other reduces the cost of their counterparts. So it happened now: yesterday the sales of the Intel Alder Lake CPU officially started, and almost at the same time AMD reduced the cost of the Ryzen 5000 CPU. The size of the discounts will be different in different countries, but in this news consider the reference market – the USA.
The Ryzen 7 5800X fell in price the most – it dropped $ 150 at once: now instead of $ 450 it can actually be bought in the US for $ 300. It turns out that the Ryzen 7 5800X is cheaper than the Core i5-12600K, although the Core i5-12600K is rather a competitor to the Ryzen 5 5600X. The Ryzen 5 5600X itself also fell in price, but much more modestly – by only $ 20 (up to $ 280).
Slightly more discount for the 12-core Ryzen 9 5900X – $ 50. Now the cost of this CPU in the US has dropped to $ 500. Finally, the flagship also became cheaper: the Ryzen 9 5950X became more affordable by $ 100, its new cost is $ 700.
Considering that Alder Lake (at least top-end ones) is not much faster than the Ryzen 5000, and if faster, then at the cost of much more power consumption and, accordingly, more significant heating, AMD has made a very good offer for users planning an upgrade or purchase of a new PC.
