AMD finally announced the pricing for its long-anticipated AMD Ryzen 9000 series CPUs, which come with improved performance and lower power consumption, providing a slight price advantage over the immediate predecessor of this range, the Ryzen 7000 series. In this article, we’ll be covering its pricing, Specifications, and expected release date:
AMD Ryzen 9000 Series Specifications:
The Ryzen 9000 CPUs are based on the latest Zen 5 architecture and are expected to perform 16 percent better than Zen 4 chips, bringing real-world improvements in responsiveness and speed for demanding workloads like video editing and ultra-high-performance gaming. Besides, the new CPUs come with enhanced thermal management, allowing them to run cooler and probably more silently.
The Ryzen 9000 series does not disappoint in this regard, with variants ranging from the topmost flagship 16-core and 32-thread Ryzen 9 9950X down to the pocket-friendly 6-core and 12-thread Ryzen 5 9600X. All of these CPUs will feature the latest PCIe 5.0 for truly fast storage and DDR5 memory for silky-smooth multitasking.
AMD’s pricing strategy makes this Ryzen 9000 series competitive against the previous generation. The small price advantage, along with performance improvements, maybe a strategic move against some recent stability issues plaguing Intel’s latest CPUs.
Pricing and Availability:
The Latest launch CPUs include the Ryzen 7 9700X, starting at $359, and the Ryzen 5 9600X, starting at $279, both available on August 8th.
Those who looking for the maximum power will have to keep holding on a bit longer for the Ryzen 9 9950X at $649 and the Ryzen 9 9900X at $499—available from August 15th onward.
