The text says shops such as Mindfactory and Caseking sold the 7900X at 669 euro, as AMD announced. The article does not state the tax treatment. German consumer prices normally include VAT. The page prints the original date as 27.08.2022 and an update of 28.09.2022, so the first date looks like a typo for 27 September 2022.

Test system for the Ryzen 7000 chips: ASRock X670E Taichi, G.Skill Trident Z5 Neo DDR5-6000 run at the stock DDR5-5200 for Ryzen 7000, Corsair iCue Link H150i RGB, Windows 11 Pro with secure boot, virtualization and fTPM off, open bench table. The 7900X bars are the stock configuration, with default power limits and no PBO. Application GPU: Nvidia GeForce RTX 2080 Ti Founders Edition. The chart subtitle reads Version 1.3.3, 1.5GB .MKV to MP4, which looks like a copy error from the HandBrake charts. The result is from an older test bench than Tom's 2026 reviews, which use a newer platform and a newer GPU.
