It is interesting that Granite Ridges scores noticeably higher than Strix in ST tests per GHz. ~3400pts @ 5.7Ghz ( 596pts/Ghz) Vs ~2900pts @ 5.1Ghz ( 568pts/Ghz) -> that is ~5% IPC difference between two Zen 5 implementations.

Strix got multiple known limitations, namely:
* half max L3 per core
* half (or less?) AVX512 throughput (FP benches might care)
* heterogenous CCXes (a thread might be scheduled on the Zen5c CCX)
* energy-optimized DVFS

AMD haven't publicly said anything about Strix Point's microarchitecture differing¹ from Granite Ridge's/ Turin's, have they? ... To be fair, we are still pre-launch, so it's somewhat natural that they aren't particularly talkative about details like that for the time being.

¹) WRT FP pipelines, if true. I thought that'll only happen to Strix Halo's low power cores.

AMD public statements are driven by marketing... David Huang benched Strix Point and found the AVX512 throughput being the same as Zen 4 and, at the same time, both CCXes being architecturally identical.

Well to be fair, he said he tested a pre-prod. laptop with ES CPU. Still, Strix Point seems to have power optimized Zen 5 core.

The dutch Amazon had the 9600X, 9700X and 9900X online for a small amount of time. The page for the 9900X was linked on WTFTech and is still available but missing the price. I still have a screenshot of the page for the 9700X, the page was gone when reloading. Anyway, there are EUR prices incl. VAT (USD prices excl. VAT in parentheses):
  • 9600X: €307.35 (276.65 USD) (not absolutely sure if this was the price)
  • 9700X: €405.69 (365.12 USD)
  • 9900X: €508.49 (457.64 USD)
The 9950X wasn't listed.

I find these interesting because they were actually below launch MSRP of Zen4, for example around 90 USD lower for the 9900X.

One can wonder if this will be a problem in newer games that might use more than 4 cores. I mean according to AMD X3D get only one V-cache die, as cross CCD latency would be prohibitive, and here we have cross CCX latency that doesn't look too good. Could it be that Hawk Point may do better in some games than Strix Point?

Because no one buys the 12 cores Zen. 😛

AMD Ryzen 9000 processors prices listed by French retailer — European Ryzen 9 9900X price at nearly $750

Ryzen 9 9900X is priced at about a $67 premium on the Ryzen 9 7900X at the same retailer.

That doesn't sound good.

That shop seems to practice prohibitive prices. A much larger shop in France, which is not even competitive price wise, lists 7900x at 480 Euros vs pc21.fr 620 Euros. Amazon France is at 390 Euros.

I wouldn't deduce anything from pc21 prices.

CPUs have gotten too expensive. I still remember buying the 6600K for 230€. Now a similar range CPU goes for 300-350€. That's a 40-50% increase

Everything got more expensive but at least we get more performance now compared to the skylake era
 
Still waiting for AMD to fumble the ball on Zen 5 pricing. The urge to milk early adopters has got to be very hard to resist for them coming from Zen 3 and Zen 4. Maybe they've finally learned their lesson. 9 days left to find out.

AMD's client profitability is very crappy, considering how much better their products are than Intel's. They gotta do something. I'd expect at least Zen 4's original MSRP.

If we forget about other markets for a second, Ian Cutress did a BOM analysis for the 7950X when it released in 2022, estimating total BOM to be around $70. For a $700 MSRP product. I have no idea how a 90% profit margin could be considered "very crappy profitability".

Based on his breakdown, the single CCD chips would be ~$45-50 BOM at the time.
