The AMD Ryzen 7000 series CPU saw its launch in September this year, and it is regarded as the company's flagship and fastest processor to date. Now, it sees a massive price drop on a Chinese retailer's listing, centering on as much as $200 off its original price tag, with an unknown exact reason behind its markup.

The price reduction sees a massive 27.3 percent markdown compared to its original release price in the region. The report further says that it includes the flagship processors from the company, including the Ryzen 7950 X which is now $557 instead of $765, and the Ryzen 7900 X, seeing a smaller price reduction, for only $459 from $598 (converted from its Chinese Yuan price).
