We seem to be rapidly approaching launch for AMD's upcoming Ryzen 7000 desktop processors and the first 600 series motherboards. Ahead of AMD's official unveiling, retailers have begun listing multiple processors and X670 motherboards online complete with pricing.
The listings are no longer online, but they were shared by @momomo_us. Looking at the listings, this new generation of Ryzen processors will be priced higher than their predecessors. The tray models, which tend to be cheaper, start with the Ryzen 5 7600X at $424 (CAD), which translates into $330 (USD) or £212.73 – that's about 10% more expensive than Ryzen 5 5600X.

The Ryzen 9 7900X looks to be the one with the most significant price difference between it and its predecessor ($550), with the tray model costing $777 CAD, $609 USD or £396 GBP.
