AMD: We didn't cut RyZen's Price Guize!

Thu Jun 08, 2017 2:20 pm

So there was quite a bit of commentary about the purported RyZen price cut. recently.

And it does appear that some retailers did cut the for-sale prices of RyZen chips. That's not being denied.

However, the retailers weren't cutting the prices based on some official instruction from AMD because AMD's own representatives have expressly denied that they cut RyZen's prices.

Cool story, bro!

I don't know why people read so much into the pricing change. NVidia soaks early adopters for a premium, too, and AMD clearly needs the margins.

1. A year ago is "recently"? Heck, in tech terms that's practically an eternity!

2. How is this even news? MSRP is just a suggestion. That's what the 'S' stands for!

Well I posted it a year ago until you decided to necro the thread.

In other news, we should complain about how TR said this:
This new processor core, code-named Hammer, is intended to solidify AMD as a leader not just in desktops, but in servers and workstation, as well. AMD has even amended the x86 instruction set for the future with 64-bit extensions.


That was almost 15 freakin' years ago TR! That's not "new"!

About as well as the GTX-1080 was since I don't have time for games anymore [hence the re-sale of said GPU for about what I paid for it].
