ShopBLT in the US, and Kikatek in the UK, let slip pricing details a bit early.

VideoCardz reports that in the US an outfit called ShopBLT (sounds like a sandwich shop) has published a trio of R7 Ryzen chip prices, with some other accompanying details. [...] The absolute top end AMD Ryzen 7 1800X is currently listed at US$490, the Ryzen 7 1700X at $381, and the Ryzen 7 1700 at $316. Remember US prices don't usually include state tax which varies depending where you live.
[...]
In the UK we have a screenshot of a listing of Ryzen CPUs from trade seller Ingram Micro. These listed processors seem to have been taken down, but luckily VideoCardz took a snap. You can see the top end 4GHz AMD Ryzen 7 1800X was listed at GBP £365, the Ryzen 7 1700X at £283, and the Ryzen 7 1700 at £235. These are ex-VAT prices so you have to add 20 per cent, unfortunately. That makes the AMD Ryzen 7 1800X £438 by my calculations. In the listings WOF seems to mean 'without fan'.

I know you want to think I'm all "yay Trump" so you can argue with me but that's never been the case. I just hated Hillary worse.
Intel's even worse, which is why I'm sticking with my Phenom II x6 until the wheels fall off and hoping Libreboot gets done with neutering the ME on ARM by then. I mean there's no way RISC-V will be useful by the time this box dies on me and I'm unable to find replacement parts.
No, but Obama certainly gave a shit about me enough to decide veterans with anti-governmental tendencies needed to be watched [fas.org] as potential dangers. To be fair, he was absolutely correct. Those who've sworn to defend the Constitution are always going to be a danger to men like him and Cheeto Jesus. So I'll just go ahead and not be spied upon any more than necessary, thanks.
My rights don't end where your fear begins.

Hah, half of that actually made rational sense, for once. Buy up Thuban CPUs and compatible motherboards from ebay if you're that worried; there's plenty around.
