CPU release and GPU prices

[Wonderhead]

With the 3000 series amd CPUs coming out in a couple of days, I was wondering when is a realistic date that retailers will start selling the CPUs since I'm guessing that it will take awhile to get a hold of the products (Microcenter, Fry's, etc). Also, with the new amd GPUs coming out, should we see any NVIDIA price drops or are they going to stay the same?

For the AMD CPUs, places in the UK already have (at least some) stock already from what I've seen some of them say, so it should be Sunday 7/7.

They said Ryzen 3000 will be on shelf's in stores on 7/7/2019, so you should expect them then. But most shops in my country work to 15:00 on Sundays (some even less or closed), so realistically I expect them to be ready for sale on Monday 8th.

Nvidia is supposed to release new Super cards today if I'm not mistaken (2nd of July). Embargo should be lifted at 16:00, so I expect some reviews soon.

As with any other new CPU/GPU release, price drop can be expected on previous generation(s). Intel is already lowering prices of 8xxx and 9xxx chips. Retailers will do the same with Ryzen 2xxx stock, since most users will be interested in 3xxx series, so to get rid of the old stock, prices will need to be lowered. 

But don't expect 30% price drop in a matter of days ... it usually takes weeks/months, before prices are dropped significantly.

Tbh the Vega 8 is reallypowerful for an iGPU, and its big brother the Vega 11 could have given my old GTX750 Ti a run for its money.

Because everyone waits for prices to drop, retailers continue selling current stock at very minimal drops. And at the same time selling new stock at highest people are willing to pay. Its win-win for them for about 6mo when its time to do clearance sales.
