Arrr, matey! Thar be a fine tale—official prices be lower than a scallywag's belly! But lo! The fanciest Ryzen treasures still be costin’ more doubloons than the whispers foretold! Aye, the seas of savings be choppy indeed!

Ahoy, me hearties! Gather 'round as I regale ye with tales of AMD's treasure chest o' pricing for their newfangled Ryzen 9000 processors, landlubbers! Set to launch in August, these shiny trinkets promise to be cheaper than their 7000 kin, but hold yer grog, for not all be what it seems!

In a twist of fate, the Ryzen 9 9950X will command a princely sum of $649, while its matey, the Ryzen 9 9900X, be priced at $499. These prices be $50 more than the whispers from the depths of the retailer's sea! Yet fret not, for they still sail below the launch prices of their forebears. The Ryzen 7 9700X and Ryzen 5 9600X come in at $359 and $279, respectively—an even sweeter deal for ye buccaneers!

Now, 'tis a curious thing that AMD be lowering prices at all, seeing as their rivals at Intel be floundering with old tech and stability woes.
