With the recent announcement of new AMD Ryzen CPUs on the way, the current generation have some substantial price drops to help compete with Intel's 8th Gen offerings: [QUOTE]Among the notable changes, are bringing the entire Ryzen 7-series lineup under the 0-mark, with the 1800X being priced at 9, the 1700X at 9, and the 1700 non-X at 9. These changes make the three competitive against the Core i7-8700K (which is scraping the 0-mark in many places), and the i7-8700 non-K (around 0). The Ryzen 5-series six-core parts also receive much-needed price-cuts to make them competitive against the Core i5 six-core SKUs, such as the i5-8600K and i5-8400. There are marginal changes in the Ryzen 3 series and Ryzen Threadripper series. All price cuts are tabled below.[/QUOTE] TechPowerUp have more info here: [URL]https://www.techpowerup.com/240383/amd-announces-official-price-cuts-for-ryzen-processors[/URL]
