![AMD Ryzen 9 9950X3D2 appears on Amazon with $1,000 pre-order price — AMD confirms recommended pricing is still set at $899 [Updated]](https://futuretechmarkets.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/ig33KupddRioiajuhCAxGa-1729-80.png "AMD Ryzen 9 9950X3D2 appears on Amazon with $1,000 pre-order price — AMD confirms recommended pricing is still set at $899 [Updated]")
The Ryzen 9 9950X3D2 is set to release next week on April 22. It's hard to say where pricing will go after launch, but for now at least, Amazon is accepting pre-orders for the chip at a slightly inflated price. Our test benches are warmed up and ready to go to see if the Ryzen 9 9950X3D2 will earn a spot among the best CPUs for gaming .

Ogotai thats nothing.. the 9950xd3 ( single chiplet ) is $1050 here the X3D2 will easily be 1200 + id guess here…. if not more Reply
adamboy64 I must be out of date with my CPU info.. I need to go look up what a CCD is. I'm sure it's got nothing to do with digital cameras.. Reply

-Fran- Somewhat of a re-post from another similar thread: I see OCUK slashing the price of the 9950X3D2 by £100, I hope this is AMD reading the room. If that is the case: still too damn high, AMD. I still class the uplifts and QoL improvements as not worth £100 extra on top of the 9950X3D. Try with £50. Well, I hope I'm not reading this the wrong way and AMD is actually reading the room. One can hope! Regards. Reply

I think the thing is going to sell out at that price already. Just because you are unwilling to pay that price and feel it isn't worth it doesn't mean others aren't / see value in it. Reply

Just because you are unwilling to pay that price and feel it isn't worth it doesn't mean others aren't / see value in it. Just like the 9950X3D is sold out everywhere at £700, right? Oh, wait… That's right. It is not. It's a non-sensical thing to say. An MSRP of £200 over the 9950X3D is laughable at the very least and stupid at most. The overall improvements are minimal and this CPU brings very little to the table, on top of the 9950X3D to be priced like that. Also, are you a potential buyer? Are you target audience for this CPU? I am, as I already have a 9950X3D and I would've gotten the 9950X3D2 if it was launched originally alongside the 9950X3D, but no. AMD decided to do… Whatever the hell this is. Perhaps it was just waiting on Intel's refreshed lineup? Still, great CPU, stupid price if too far away from the 9950X3D. Regards. Reply

Why yes, I do have a 9950X3D which means I have no need or desire for the 9950X3D2. For me, it would be a downgrade when I can actually get better performance out of my chip at a higher clock speed for my use cases. (I am actually running at 5.8 Ghz on my non-X3D CCD. That said, I will rely on AMD to determine what is best for their pricing. They can always lower the price if it doesn't sell. Just wait for a sale. Reply

Perhaps that is where most people clashes unnecessarily… Why are you trying to look after what is best for AMD? Look after what is best (at least makes sense) to yourself*? Don't take this the wrong way, but I believe a lot of folks out there forget that the whole point of being in Capitalsm is to look after your own interests first and foremost. Why defend a price so high up that makes zero sense from a consumer perspective? And by consumer, I mean "me". You also said you're not going to buy it. So you're not the target audience since your use case (your own words) can't make use of the lower clocked CCDs and you seem to be ok and happy with the 1&1 approach. That's fine and understandable. The 9950X3D is the CPU you wanted and needed. I had to "settle" for the 9950X3D because AMD delayed (not even announced back then) the 9950X3D2, so similar, but not the same and this difference matters. Out of the already small universe of people that got the 9950X3D, I wonder how many are on your camp vs mine. Regards. Reply

Well, what is best for yourself?!? For AMD to go bankrupt again and not be able to make anything new for another 7-10years?!?! Is that really the best thing that could happen to you? Reply

Is that really the best thing that could happen to you? So… You're implying AMD will go bankrupt if they can't sell you a CPU with an obcenely high profit margin? You have a golden heart that looks after "the market", so you help it regulate itself and allow Companies to abuse you in the name of "the bigger good"? Because, that's the pathological lie a lot of people believes in: "you have to sacrifice yourself and your wallet so that Companies can stay alive". If a Company fails, then its remains will be bought up and distributed, then whatever it is that made them successful would be re-used in some way. Otherwise, the whole point is that "the market" will determine what is valuable (price). In order to make an assessment of "value" (directly reflected in the price) you need to draw some lines when you have to pinpoint where it can land. In this particular case, I can see the lines very clearly and AMD is just missing them. That is where my overall analysis comes from. Everyone/anyone is more than welcome to disagree and we'll see in a few months what "the market" says. And AMD is not a critical business for anything (so you "protect" it), just like Intel. You could argue nVidia fits the bill a bit better when it comes to "critical", but at the same time, if nVidia goes down, its assets would be gobbled up by "the market" in any case. It'll cause a disruption, people will get butthurt and the market will adapt. Regards. Reply
