The GeForce RTX 4090 will go on sale on October 12, but the cards are already in stock in stores in Europe. At least in the Proshop chain, which is one of the largest in the region.

Prices for the new Nvidia flagship start at 2,000 euros. Recall that in the US the card is valued at $ 1,600, but this is without taxes. But the above European price is not a result of the seller’s greed, as the recommended price of the RTX 4090 for Europe is 1950 euros.

Liquid-cooled models can be bought for 2300-2400 euros, and the most expensive are Asus Strix cards with a price of 2530 euros.

The Proshop network does not even offer to place a pre-order yet, but now you can be sure that the prices will be at the recommended level, except that the recommended price for Europe is very high in itself.

A supposedly “roadmap” has appeared on the network that shows AMD’s plans for the 2022-2023 Ryzen processor line. And so there are many interesting things.

First, the Ryzen Threadripper 5000 line will not be replaced until the end of 2023, although a more powerful version is expected after that. Secondly, AMD will continue to sell the Ryzen 5000 series along with the Ryzen 7000 this year and into 2023. The most interesting thing is that there will still be a line of processors with 3D V-Cache memory, they are marked with X3D indexes.

Additionally, AMD’s Ryzen G-Series should also get an update next year, most likely in the form of the Ryzen 7000G series. This part of the image is cropped, but there is clearly not an empty space. Their characteristics have not yet been announced, but it seems that these processors will receive more powerful video chips than the 5000G and 7000 series have. Thus, AMD is clearly not saying goodbye to socket AM4. After all, 4000G and 5000G are announced as solutions until the end of 2023.

It was previously reported that the Ryzen 7000 can be made much colder by scalping it.

For some reason, Intel waited a couple of days and introduced another video card.

The Arc A750 will go on sale on October 12, just like the Arc A770. Technically, this is a pre-flagship solution. Instead of 32 Xe cores, the new products have 28 of them, that is, 3584 FP32 blocks. The adapter also has 8 GB of GDDR6 memory with a frequency of 16 GHz, a 256-bit bus and a TDP of 225 watts. That is, the novelty as a whole is very similar to the A770.

And the price is close. If for the younger Arc A770 they ask for $ 330, then the A750 is priced at $ 290. Thus, the card is 12% cheaper with a 12% lower number of computing units.

Intel also clarified the Arc A770. Contrary to previous reports, the 8GB version will cost $330, while the 16GB version will cost $350. More precisely, for this money, a Limited Edition reference card will be sold, which will only be available with 16 GB.

Intel itself says that the Arc A750 is 53% superior to the GeForce RTX 3060 in terms of price and performance, but at one time Intel said something similar about the Arc A380, but in the end it turned out that there are nuances. In addition, here the company mentions that they are charging an RTX 3060 with a price of $418, which is allegedly the average price of this card on the NewEgg network on September 22. However, there is an RTX 3060 on the same network for $370-$400, so the Intel comparison should be treated with caution.

As for direct price competitors for the A750, according to the same NewEgg network, these are the GeForce RTX 3050 and Radeon RX 6600.
