HOT! Ryzen 7 2700 8 Core Processor $135 @ Newegg

[janas19]

Says Blitz deal subscribers only. I don't know if that's paid or free to subscribe, but this is a hot deal. Normally sells for $180, but it's discounted to $150. If you use code EMCDEGD22 at checkout, you save an additional $15.

This does seem like a pretty good deal, but I've seen someone say they got the 2700x for $130. Given that prices gradually decline I think I'll wait for a deal at least that good.

$150 is the normal price for the 2700.

I paid$160 a month or two ago so I feel like this price is a solid deal for a good CPU.

Microcenter I bet would pricematch.... Can't hurt to ask

Microcenter has the 2700x for 139, seen some for 119 open box w/ warranty
tried forever to find someone close to one to pick one up for me

So what would an "equivalent" Intel CPU be to the 2700?

I7 8700 would be close, as far as gaming performance.

Ok gotcha, I think I get the naming scheme, ryzen 5 -> i5, 7 -> i7, then 2700 -> 8700, 3600 -> 9600(?), x -> k (?)

Just trying to justify an upgrade that leaves room for further upgrades without requiring complete new gear which unfortunately I shoe horned myself into with my current i5-4690k, the only upgrade path is an i7-4790k

Similar nomenclature, but not like for like. Here's an older but still relevant breakdown explaining AMD's CPU naming scheme:
