Original Coupon Deal
Stack with the cashback, seems to be a pretty good price for this (9800x3d msrp is US$479 btw so not really comparable to this)

these cpus are in no mans land
everyone wants a 7800x3d 9800x3d or one of their cousins
and 9000 is like 5% over 7000 for a lot more money
There's a 7800x3d for $657 before cashback… Hmm.. should be $633 all in seems like
if you don't game then the 7700x is a bit faster and much cheaper than the 7800x3d for productivity apps
Funny how China has Ban/tariffs on Chips but its cheaper to buy them from China. What a world we live in. Everything is reversed. Matrix might be real.
i think the reality is these chips are 'made' in china???
and their market is so damn large their buying power is just so much bigger than ours
isnt shanghai up to 30 mil. people? there's probably more processors sold in all of that then there is in ANZ comblined
not taiwan? Or is that gpus
The silicon wafers are manufactured by TSMC in Taiwan.
These CPU packages consist of multiple chips (or chiplets). One or more compute chips, plus an I/O chip and an extra cache chip on the X3D models.
The secondary manufacturing involves cutting up the silicon wafers into individual chips, testing and assembling on a base board and adding the metal lid that the external heat sink rests on. The secondary manufacturing for AMD chips is being done in China by Tongfu Microelectronics. There's another chip packaging plant that's recently been built in Malaysia by a joint venture between AMD and Tongfu.
The AMD 9700x that I bought this week says made in China on the box.
@trongy: I think you're spot on. The USA has placed restrictions on exporting chips and chipmaking equipment to China, but that doesn't seem to affect the 7000 and 9000 chips or their price there.
At least $100AUD too much i think vs price/performance of its predecessor the 7700. Currently close to 50% more money for small improvement. The 7700 is in itself bad value vs the 7500f.
7500F coming in at ~$190 delivered during the current sales, which seems pretty compelling
Surely you’d choose the much cheaper (think $120 shipped?)7700 over this?
