All 4 of them are cheaper than the launch price of their 7000 series counterparts. That's quite good really!
The AMD Ryzen 7 9700X price is $359, which is a good $40 cheaper than the Ryzen 7 7700X

Sounds good to me
- Disappointing for share stock holders.
  
  I think they're just counting their blessings they aren't holding Intel stock rn
These are cheaper than the last two generations were, seems good
I mean 5600x was like $300 when it came out.
They just don't outperform the 7000 series and they are kind of more expensive. I guess you can PBO them and get 15% out of them at similar power consumption but that isn't great for the price difference.
Why is that disappointing?
