There isn’t a direct correlation between the prices and exchange rates or the CPUs in Canada prices would change daily, the Canadian prices above are less than what the 5000 series MSRPs where here in Canada when they launched (I got a 5600x for $479 CAD in Feb 2021 from a wholesale distributer) So $479 in Canada at the time $299 in the US.

Okay, I may not buy a 7950, If I was on the Ryzen 5 platform but these prices aren’t that bad! I also bought first gen Ryzen and SLI 1080s. My 1080s finally tanked so I’m doing a full build regardless. I’m super excited for these, I’m really hoping they talk about the V-Cache chips at gamescom that would be the only deciding factor on putting off buying in immediately. If the 3D is a month or 2 later than the initial drop I’ll buy a board and ram and wait it out!

That’s pretty bold, although I truly believe AMD will give AM5 quite a long life. Let’s not forget they’re also going to perform extremely well and go head to head with Intel’s 13th gen, which is also getting a price hike. When comparing prices to last gen let’s keep things in perspective

And you won’t need to buy a new motherboard for the next generations of CPU, unlike with Intel who have around 2 generations of CPU then a new board needed and they are cranking out new CPU gens every year, right now.

In reply to DylanP. I think once we are into 2023, we should get mkre consumer oriented SKUs. These the the top-tier CPU prices. You will still need to pay for AM5 mobo and DDR5 RAM though.

No way in hell am I paying those prices + DDR5 + AM5. I’m going back to Intel where I can use DDR4 still, existing LGA1700, and they have much more reasonable pricing.
