MSRP comparison with 7000 series:

7600: $229, 9600X: $279

7700: $329, 9700X: $359

7900X: $549, 9900X: $499

7950X: $699, 9950X: $649

(using non-X variant for 7600 & 7700 since they have same 65W TDP)

Interesting, the R9's are cheaper than the previous gen. Hmmmm, that makes an upgrade tempting...

Some speculate that Intel's recent failure is partially to blame for AMD's price bump.

The prices all decreased if you compare X variant to X variant.

The 7600X launched at $299, and the 7700X launched at $399.

my bad, indeed. I thought my parent commenter had launch price for both sides.

The speculation on price bump did indeed happen when intel problem was widespread recently.
