Retailers for India(ASIA continent) for amd ryzen 7 pre orders

[Girishchan]

Wondering who is gonna act as online and offline retailers for pre orders/sale of ryzen 7 processors in INDIA which is one of the huge markets for gamers,enthusiasts?

Amazon India.

You'll have to check your local tech news sites to find out, probably too early.

Still unlisted on Amazon india for pre orders.Dont know why products launch so lately and stay overpriced most of the time in India.

just now i saw ryzen 7 chips listed on newegg global(india) but sadly out of stock

 

[Girishchan]

153 USD+global shipping charges for shipping 1800x to india,so that's a total of 642 USD for 1800x(44000 rupees) heartbroke!

wait till the official date of launch. many sites are reporting ₹38k (~$570) for 1800X. wait till 2nd march.


UPDATE:
₹37,999 (~570USD) for 1800X
₹29,499 (~440USD) for 1700X
₹24,499 (~370USD) for 1700
digit.in reports these prices as official.

Amd Ryzen preorder prices for india confirmed on Primeabgb.com as on 23rd feb 2017:
ryzen 7 1700 - 26499 INR (396 USD)
ryzen 7 1700X-31899 INR(477 USD)
ryzen 7 1800X-41099 INR(614 USD)
Blame Indian taxations for these exorbitant prices.I dont know if these prices will fall down even after a month of release because its aways been that computer peripherals cost so high in india.

 

[srt99]

these prices seem a bit higher.
most sites (ndtv, indiatoday, digit) are saying official prices as 38k for 1800X.
I guess we will know actual prices once they are available on amazon.in or flipkart.

 

[iknoor]

[Girishchan]

should we wait for a month or so to see the prices fall down?..also we might see 1800X wraith cooler editions by then if we could wait?

 

[srt99]

i think we should wait for a month or two. we may see price drop. amd did same thing with rx480. dropped the price twice after a month of it's launch.

 

[Girishchan]

rx 480 price was cut down to keep it competitive with nvidia gtx 1060 pricing isn't it?Do you think they'll do the same for ryzen which has huge demand now?

 

[srt99]

depends on how intel reacts to ryzen.
ryzen prices are very competitive to begin with. I doubt amd will slash prices.
but i think they will adjust the prices in other markets such as india. as of now ryzen is 40-60$ more expensive in india than US market.
even if they don't slash price, we can get the ryzen from amazon global store (if it gets listed on global store). which will end up costing a little less than official price of ryzen in india.
