Best Buy Briefly Lists AMD’s Ryzen 9000 CPUs: From $279 to $599

In a surprise move, Best Buy has briefly listed AMD’s upcoming Ryzen 9000 series CPUs on their website, revealing the prices for the new processors. The listings were spotted by AnandTech and have since been removed, but not before enthusiasts could get a glimpse of what to expect from AMD’s latest offerings.

According to the listings, the Ryzen 9000 series CPUs will range in price from $279 to $599, with the highest-end model, the Ryzen 9 5900XT, priced at $349. This is a significant departure from the prices of the previous generation Ryzen 7000 series, which started at $499 for the base model and went up to $699 for the top-of-the-line model.

The lower prices for the Ryzen 9000 series are likely a response to Intel’s recent struggles with their 13th and 14th Gen processors, which have been plagued by delays and production issues. This has left a gap in the market for AMD to capitalize on, and they appear to be doing just that with their aggressive pricing strategy.

In addition to the price reveal, the Best Buy listings also confirmed the existence of several models in the Ryzen 9000 series, including the Ryzen 9 5900XT, Ryzen 7 5800XT, and Ryzen 5 5600X. The listings also revealed that the new CPUs will be compatible with the AM4 platform, which has been a staple of AMD’s processor lineup for the past nine years.

While the listings have since been removed, it’s clear that AMD is gearing up to give Intel a run for their money in the CPU market. With their lower prices and impressive performance, the Ryzen 9000 series is shaping up to be a strong contender in the high-end desktop processor space.

In related news, AMD has also announced the launch of their new Ryzen 7 5800XT and Ryzen 5 5600X processors, which are now available for purchase. These new CPUs offer impressive performance gains over their predecessors, with the Ryzen 7 5800XT featuring 8 cores and 16 threads, and the Ryzen 5 5600X sporting 6 cores and 12 threads.

Overall, it’s an exciting time for CPU enthusiasts, with AMD’s latest offerings set to shake up the market and provide consumers with more affordable and powerful options than ever before.
