Portal Videocardz drew attention to the strange pricing strategy of the large American retailer MicroCenter in relation to some AMD processors.

The fact is that at the present time on the MicroCenter website you can buy the Ryzen 9 7900X processor cheaper than the Ryzen 9 7900. It is also curious that 32 GB of DDR5-6000 RAM is supplied with a more powerful processor, the cost of which is about $150 . The only advantage of the Ryzen 9 7900 is the stock Wraith Prism cooler, but the more powerful processor, complete with 32 GB of RAM, still looks more attractive.
The source notes that at present, the cost of Ryzen 7000 processors in different stores can vary significantly. Retailers don’t seem to be aware of how much the upcoming Ryzen 7000X3D processor will cost. At the same time, the flagship 16-core Ryzen 7950X now costs more in the US than it did two months ago. We are not talking about a sharp increase in prices, but it does not seem that AMD has no intention of reducing the cost of the flagship processor.
