AMD would be lowering the price of AMD Ryzen processors in the Amazon in the United States and the United Kingdom, being able to extend to other countries in the coming days or weeks.
The arrival of AMD Ryzen processors has brought about a technical revolution within the processor market, assuming competition for Intel processors. These new processors have come with certain controversies and technical problems, in addition to a performance that is lower than expected. The prices of these processors, cheaper than the Intel solutions with which they competed, still had a price problem, higher than what was expected in the first instance, this because the first batch of processors was very limited and there were not for everyone, generating stock problems.
It seems that AMD Ryzen processors are going down in price approximately in the United States, about $ 30, as reflected by the passage from the $ 499 that the Ryzen 7 1800X cost in Amazon USA to the $ 469 that these processors cost right now. This price reduction may seem like a limited time offer, but everything indicates that the reduction of the AMD Ryzen 7 processors would be fixed, since the first stock problems of these processors would have been solved.
This price reduction has already reached the United Kingdom, where it has been seen that these AMD processors have lowered their prices. The price reduction varies between £ 20 and £ 40. The Ryzen 7 1800X processor has dropped the price from £ 488.99 to £ 449.99, the Ryzen 7 1700X processor has gone from £ 389.99 to the current £ 349 and finally, the Ryzen 7 1700 has gone from £ 319.99 to £ 299.99 £.
We cannot guarantee that these prices have reached Spain, but it is likely that they have and if they have not arrived, they should arrive in the next few weeks, without a doubt. If this price drop is generalized and stabilizes, it makes it very clear that the Ryzen processors arrived with a slightly high price because there was not enough stock for the expected demand, there will be no other explanation than within weeks of reaching the markets, they suffer a reduction , as much as the Ryzen 5 have already been released.

"...as well as with a performance lower than expected..." and yet they still rock even though the motherboard bios are 'bad' and green.
Is there a date for the Ryzen 1300? graxxx
No, there is no date, but they should arrive in the second half of the year along with the Raven Ridge APUs
I believe that 1600 is already worth it for the future
Everything that is lowering prices, whoever comes, is good news.
The 1700 already offers a tremendous quality / price ratio (honestly, I can't make sense of the 1800X with this one at a considerably lower price), so at $ 20-$ 30 less it would already be a round processor (although it has not been clear to me if this ~ $ 30 discount will affect everyone or just the 1800X).
And well, without wanting to put the competition in the middle, until recently to think that an 8C / 16T at $ 300-$ 320 was little more than a chimera.
By the way, it will have nothing to do with the news, but two days ago he was at Carrefour (yes, I said it well, at Carrefour xD) at € 300. Offer no matter where you look, go.
I don't know where you get that about underperformance. The fact that they are not better than Kaby in games does not mean that they are already underperforming as expected, since it was said from the beginning that they would be at the level of Brodwell and that is how they are. Another thing is that people create their own hype and another is the truth. For the rest, the price drop is logical, less demand and more stock, better price.
Man the 1600x in single thread has been put above 7700k in synthetic tests, when it comes to playing counting that it is a totally new architecture let's give the developers time
In single thread they are clearly below, think that for example in cinebench they get 162 points more or less (what the Haswell range of Intel gets) and the Kaby gets 180 to 195. On the other hand, in multithread the 1600x is an incredible option, all that is missing is for the developers to add patches to the games to adapt them to Ryzen, although unfortunately I don't see them with too much enthusiasm to do so.

Is it going well with windows 8? I don't want to put win 10, but I just read that there is no support for win 7 and 8
It is W10 ami it also gives me that OS information and I have W10
All this answers what I have told you, the IPC is that of Broodwell / Haswell. Since it is not normal for you to set the 1500x to 4.05 to match the Stock 7770k in Cinebech, here are the tests to which my comments refer.
If you also compare it with the 6950x which has 2 more quad channel cores which would be what would put Ryzen at a disadvantage
