AMD is gearing up to launch two highly anticipated processors, the Ryzen 9 9950X3D and the Ryzen 9 9900X3D, with a rumored release date of March 12th. Recent leaks suggest a potentially high launch price for the flagship 9950X3D, sparking discussion among enthusiasts.
A Twitter user, 9550pro, recently shared a screenshot revealing a price of 5599 RMB (approximately $772 USD) for the Ryzen 9 9950X3D on a Chinese retail website. The Ryzen 9 9900X3D is listed at 4599 RMB (approximately $634 USD), a significant $140 difference. These leaked prices are notably higher than the original MSRP of the previous generation flagship, the Ryzen 9 7950X3D, which launched at $699. While the 7950X3D saw price drops to as low as $530, its availability decreased, and the price has since risen to around $734. This makes the older generation model a less appealing option with the new release on the horizon.
The potential $772 price tag for the Ryzen 9 9950X3D has raised concerns, but it’s important to consider a few factors. First, this information originates from a single leak from a Chinese retailer and may not reflect final pricing. Regional pricing variations are common, and U.S. pricing could differ. A previous leak on Newegg in February listed the 9950X3D at $699, matching the 7950X3D’s launch price.
While the leaked prices offer a glimpse into potential costs, it’s crucial to await official confirmation from AMD. Although AMD has yet to announce official pricing and release dates, the company unveiled the specifications of these new Ryzen CPUs during its CES 2025 keynote.
