    member when everyone got real upset when I said that 5600X3D wasn’t some particular stream of downbins or failures and everyone got mad because the AMD rep had said it was some unique deal to get rid of failed yields

    Kinda funny how they apparently decided to launch a bunch of mass-market parts on similar lines

    It was always about controlling the downward slide of 5800x3d prices and indeed we have seen 5800x3d prices bounce back upwards. Same thing they did with launching the 7900GRE to control 7900XT prices from getting too low.

    Wow, if the 5700X3D chip is 65W part I might get one. I’ve loved my 5800X3D since last December when I got it. Such a great chip!

    Hehe seems like I will never need to upgrade my platform in like the next 10 years. New games are much more gpu heavy anyways and even my 5600x is more than good enough for anything for now.

      I went with a 5700x because I didn’t want the cooling troubles a 5800x3d would bring into my crammed system. And money of course.

      5700x3d sounds pretty nice

    The main issue with the 5500 was the lack of cache I think? It could be a good upgrade for like a 100. 🤔

    I’m still on my old and trusty 3600.

    If it does happen, I would assume that it’s because of bad bins from 5600X3D and 5800X3D production, the 5500X3D would probably be another limited time Microcenter thing, the 5700X3D would probably stick around for awhile considering the supply of 5800X3Ds seems to still be very steady.

    We went from Zen 3 being the last generation of AM4, to ZenX3D being the bonus generation of AM4 where the 5800X3D is the only chip with X3D technology, to 5600X3D being the final drip feed from microcenter exclusively where people told me it’s gonna be rare like 3300X, and to now 5700X3D and 5500X3D rumors floating on the horizon.
