ryzen 7 1700x cpu. £10 cheaper than most other sites i've found taking pre orders and 1.15% cash back from topcashback. yes the real world reviewer benchmarks have yet to be released but if they are even close to what amd have published this is going to finally shake up the cpu market even if it is slightly more tha we were expected to pay

Some people are never happy, if you posted an Intel 6900K for £500, people would be going mental over how cheap it was, post the AMD equivalent for even less and it's over priced. *shakes head*

The price has Ryzen
Apologies for that, I couldn't actually resist :/

As someone who doesn't get paid in GBP, and has portfolios in four currencies, I'm not sure what you're talking about. The GBP is nowhere near where it was against the US$ a year ago. :smile:
Still, I do admire your optimism.

All retailers price gouging...

Wait for Amazon to fix that. :wink:

Blame the Brexit thickos for tanking the pound. That's why you're seeing dollar signs straight up replaced with pound ones, especially when you factor in that our prices include tax and US ones don't.

I thought AMD were pricing their CPUs cheaper than Intels ? :confused:

intel equivalent is around £600+ so if just as good it's a bargain and should shake up the market. but still hasn't come out so will have to wait and see

Yes, but they releasing from the top. This should compete with the i7-6850K which costs about £550 plus needs an expensive socket 2011-3 motherboard which start at around £200.
The lower end chips should be a lot cheaper, but it seems for now they are only making 8 core ones.
The leaked full line up is has the 4C/4T parts starting at $130:
For now all parts are CPU-only with APUs set to follow much later.
But, yes pre-order tends to meant price-gauging. I'd wait for the full reviews or buy from a place with a great returns policy.

Hope AM4 boards don't carry the extra £40 price tag :disappointed:

This isn't price gouging this is the "X".
The intel equivalent is still over a grand isn't it?

Yep, but you have to ask yourself if Intel's top end CPU's £1000 +/- price tag was realistic to begin with?
Intel have literally been allowed to run wild with their pricing over the years on high CPU's because they've had NO competitors at that level.
So all everyone is doing now is comparing something which is probably priced around the right sort of price with regards to AMD, versus Intels (extreme) pricing which they've been allowed to get away with through lack of competition for all these years.
We will soon see whether Intel truly believes those top end CPU's were really worth as much as they've been getting away with charging us, the obvious telltale sign will be whether they drop their prices or not. I think the whole world knows that's going to happen. :laughing:

The LGA2011v3 motherboards for Intel chips with 6 or more cores cost around £200 alone.

The ryzen 1700 is £320. Hardly shaking the cpu market up if that competes with a 6700k

the 1400x competes with the i7 and that may cost $200 if rumours are true, but they are all rumours (have a 6700k myself)

If that price list is to be believed, the 1600X looks like the real bargain to me. (highly threaded use cases not withstanding)
