...AMD Ryzen Enthusiast Flagship Processors May Cost Up To $720 US
The second part to this story is also a rumor coming from Zolkorn which alleges that the top SKU in the Ryzen family may cost between $580 to $720 US. Judging the performance of the Ryzen sample which AMD tested against the Core i7-6900K, this may in fact be the case. The top-end SKU which is clocked beyond 3.6 GHz at the base clock and boosts beyond that...
I do remember the FX9590 was selling for several hundred dollars when it was released (I seem to remember well above $500) -- it was not worth it.
I waited until it got down to $200 on sale.
As a "hungry" AMD fan, I'm willing to go $500 for the top model. Hate to have to "wait" for that price.
