For comparison:

The Ryzen 5 7600 was $229 at launch in Jan 2023

The Ryzen 5 5600 was $199 at launch in April 2022

The Ryzen 5 3600 was $199 at launch in July 2019

The Ryzen 5 2600 was $199 at launch in April 2018

The Ryzen 5 1600 was $219 at launch in April 2017

So, there are some fluctuations both down and up over time, but mostly stable. Not bad considering how much inflation there has been in the last few years. This latest one is a bit of an increase though.
