Prices for AMD's second-generation Ryzen have been leaked today, with four models ranging from the Ryzen 5 2600 / 2600X 6-core to the Ryzen 2700 and 2700X eight-core. Unlike the first generation, all of these processors will ship with a standard heatsink, adding great extra value. Prices have been leaked by Amazon, and are much more affordable than the original Ryzen at launch.
The prices listed have been as follows:
- Ryzen 7 2700X 337.67 euros Ryzen 7 2700 336.46 euros Ryzen 5 2600X 227.77 euros Ryzen 5 2600 214.97 euros.
They are very similar prices to those of the Core i5 and Core i7 of Intel, with the extra value on the part of AMD to offer a greater number of processing cores. Intel has taken the batteries with Coffee Lake, offering up to 50% more cores and threads than in previous generations, which has caused AMD to also have to adjust the prices of its new silicons, blessed competition.
