Yesterday we already showed you the EU prices of the top end R7 Ryzen processors. Now in the USA the prices have surfaced in ShopBLT as well, again on the 8-core 16-threaded R7 processors.

We again see prices on the three premium SKUs, the 8-core / 16 threaded models. The information on the three SKUs matches yesterdays news in relation to models alright. So unless AMD is pulling a rabbit out of somewhere it seems clear by now that these are the three products they will be launching with. And sure, that is a very nice lineup to start with alright. All models are multiplier unlocked and the top end SKU will indeed get a really nice 4 GHz boost frequency, likely on at least two out of the 8 cores.

• The flagship AMD Ryzen R7-1800X would get SKU code "YD180XBCAEWOF," and is  listed for USD $490.29.
  
• The AMD Ryzen R7-1700X (YD170XBCAEWOF) is listed at $381.72.
  
• Then there is the AMD Ryzen R7-1700 (YD1700BBAEBOX), with 65W TDP, which is priced at $316.59.
  

Interesting times folks, you can look up these prices for yourself at ShopBLT as it is all available and out wide in the open to see for everybosy. You'll also spot again (which validates yesterdays news item that the two X models get a 95 Watt TDP and the 1700 (non X) version will be a 65 Watt product).
