In addition to the prices, PC-Canada also has a real-time inventory system that keeps check of all stock coming in. Currently, the retailer is expecting 1594 units of the Ryzen 7 9700X to land in stock by the 16th of July while 50 units of the Ryzen 5 9600X CPU are expected to land the same date. We can also expect a huge stock of these chips coming in right before the retail launch on the 31st of July.
