Ryzen 9 9950X3D2 Listed Early on Amazon with a Premium of Nearly $700
AMD's new flagship desktop processor, the Ryzen 9 9950X3D2, has officially appeared on Amazon US, priced at $999, $100 higher than the official suggested retail price of $899 (approximately RMB 682). Amazon is currently accepting pre-orders for the processor, with a shipping date locked in for April 22nd.
Newegg has also listed the processor, but the page only displays "coming soon" with no pricing or pre-order options.
B&H also lists the product, priced at the AMD suggested retail price of $899, but also does not support pre-orders.
Previously, the Ryzen 9 9950X3D2 had already begun pre-sales in the Chinese market, priced at 6999 yuan. The JD platform is accepting reservations with a 100 yuan deposit, which can be deducted by 300 yuan.
VideoCardz analysis suggests that AMD cannot force retailers to adhere to the official suggested retail price, and the final pricing is determined by the channels themselves.
The 9950X3D2 is the world's first processor to feature dual CCDs, each integrated with 3D V-Cache, on a consumer desktop platform.
The official specifications list shows that the processor has 16 cores and 32 threads, with a base frequency of 4.3GHz and a maximum boost frequency of 5.6GHz.
The processor is primarily aimed at high-end developers, creators, and enthusiasts, and is not specifically designed for gamers. For pure gamers, the AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D or 7800X3D are more cost-effective choices.
If you need to balance gaming and productivity, the standard 9950X3D is already available on e-commerce platforms for less than 5000 yuan.
