AMD Ryzen 5000 processors are continuously dropping in price. At Micro Center, the 16-core Ryzen 9 5950X is going for US$520 which is US$280 cheaper than the launch MSRP of US$800. Although still discounted, prices on other retailers are above the ones offered by Micro Center.

They typically have better deals and bigger discounts. But €529 is not much different from $520. Especially considering that the US price is without taxes and the German price will be all-inclusive (mandatory for retail). Even with free shipping, importing it from the US would be more expensive. In Germany, VAT alone is 19 %. And it's even higher in many other states. Actually, they make less money on it in Germany than in the US.
