Intel’s Alder Lake-S series CPUs have only been officially listed for two days, but retailers have already realized the crisis. Therefore, AMD Ryzen 5000 series in the United States and other places have begun to make big price cuts.
Moreover, the platforms such as MicroCenter, one of the largest retailers in the United States, have begun to reduce AMD CPU prices. For example, the 6-core 12-thread Ryzen 5 5600X was priced at US$299 when it went on the market, and it is now about US$30 lower than before. R7 5800X is now quoted at US$300, which directly dives to US$150.

Furthermore, it is not clear whether the price cut will be partial or global. At least so far AMD has not publicly announced its CPU price adjustments. The price cuts are a serious problem among US retailers, at least not too common, and even CPU price cuts are not so common worldwide.
In addition, the price of AMD processors in Europe has not changed much, of course, this is mainly because it has been lowered once before.
According to statistics from the report, AMD currently has a higher market share in the mid-range, especially the R7 5700G, which is currently priced at US$280 (US$80 lower than MSRP).
Moreover, Intel has not yet released a non-K series 12-generation i5 processor with a price of less than US$300. It is expected that the cheaper Intel 12-generation Core will be launched around January 2022 with the B660/H670 motherboard.
