Reports emerged this morning that AMD had raised the MSRP for its immensely popular Ryzen 9 9800X3D at its German webstore, but the change is actually due to AMD constantly updating its official pricing for the Ryzen 7 9800X3D to keep up with changes to the exchange rate. HardwareLuxx reports that AMD recently increased the price of the Ryzen 7 9800X3D from €531 to €542 due to the adjustments.
However, this modest bump in price does not affect the 9800X3D's retail pricing outside of the German AMD store, where the CPU remains out of stock. HardwareLuxx reveals that the Zen 5 X3D gaming champ is still selling at prices of up to €700 at 3rd party retailers. In the U.S., the situation is very similar, with the Ryzen 7 9800X3D out of stock anywhere where the CPU is priced at its $479.00 MSRP. eBay scalper pricing is still in the $600 range, with the most expensive chips priced at nearly $700.
