HXL on Twitter showed us a sample for AMD’s Ryzen 5 7600X which was leaked a while back. This CPU has a retail clock of around 4.7GHz, however, the ES sample is clocked 300MHz lower at around 4.4GHz. Interestingly, the CPU was made in Malaysia back in 2021 showing that production had already started a year back. Seems as if AMD didn’t allow many leaks this time on purpose. These CPUs were already available at pccanada as placeholders which gave us a rough idea regarding pricing. Both OPN codes ‘100-000000593-20‘ (Today’s leak + Canadian listing) match showing this indeed is the R5 7600X. The seller prices this at 9999 Chinese Yuan or around $1500. Indeed, this is not the actual price and a placeholder to scare away potential bots (possibly). In addition, there are no supporting AM5 motherboards in the market right now so buying this would be a waste. However, if you do get this, you can be considered as an early Zen4 adopter.
