The new packaging features a bold orange edge and the shade of grey appears to be very slightly darker. This is definitely a more aggressive look and better represents the performance levels inside the box and the market segment AMD is targeting. The Ryzen 5 7600X was previously available for $299 and is down $50 to $248 and still available for purchase. SKUs for this CPU are actually in stock and ready to ship right now. With a clock speed of 5.3 GHz, this is the ultimate mainstream processor for the masses that want to indulge in gaming and productivity. The Ryzen 7 7700X 8-Core 16-Thread Zen 4 CPU is available for $348. This is a CPU that is down $100 from the all time high price and around $50 off the pre-holiday pricing. Just like its Ryzen 5 counterpart, it is also in stock and ready to ship at a moments notice. Up next we have the Ryzen 7900X which is down a full $109 bucks from its pre-holiday pricing of $549 and available for just $439. Combined with AM5 and DDR5 ram, it represents an excellent value proposition with 12 cores and 24 threads available for gaming or processing power intensive productivity use cases. Finally you have the flagship Ryzen 9 7950X 16-core CPU with 32 threads of Zen 4 goodness. It is down roughly $100 from its list price of $799 to $694. Unlike the other CPUs, however, this is not available to buy instantly and will take 8-9 days to ship as there are none in stock. However, that shouldn’t stop anyone from locking this price and ordering one for their rig.
