The pricing popped all the hype I had going into the launch. The i7 has been a 300-350 dollar product class for so long. Intel increased the price of the segment because they couldn't shrink process node and had capacity issues. Now AMD is just copying that price increase in the Ryzen line. I was giving serious thought to moving from my 6800k to a 6 core Zen3 but at i7 pricing for a cut down 5 series part - not a chance.
Also - just how bad are yields that a full 8 core CCD is magically worth 50% more money?!?! +2 cores with only one CCD is 150, but if you're OK with 2 CCDs you can get +6 cores for 250.

Jeez basically the only thing I can really look forward to possibly upgrading rn is my mobo. The cpu and gpu market is gonna be shite until next year I reckon. Especially in my country with import doodees. I'm also taking Steve's no ewaste advice to heart. My pc is perfectly fine for what I'm doing atm, I can loan my brother in law's PS4 instead of buying a ps5, I can wait patiently for prices to drop for rtx based cards. And as always we donate parts here or create new systems from them so anything I replace will be moved over to an old case for family, friends or lucky bois or gurls.

zen3 is very similar to zen+ architecture ...they rather have better memory bandwidth than split one current on zen2..maybe this is the final version of zen architecture after many revision of beta testing by its customers , not by AMD and they could it done themselves like intel always do it before release final version...guess its why is cheap until final version have acutual price but amd fans got sucker paying amd for past 4 years into the program vs INTEL it doesn't cost us to get 9900k or 10900k cause they are finalized and tune for quality

And with this, I think AMD just sold me on going console. Christ almighty, 500-700 for 4k gpus, 450 for the newest entry level 8 core cpus? Even if big Navi is cheap, it'll be 1100+ for the equivalent of the consoles. When the budget option starts matching scalper pricing, you know you're getting fleeced. The computer market has gone belly up. Call me when we get some sanity in these prices again.

This guy is right tbh, 10900k can be found quite some ways below the msrp, and lower priced chips like 10700k are just 5% behind zen3 at stock. If you give them a lil overclock cometlake is still competitive.
The fanboys are in full denial over how small the lead over cometlake is. It's not that zen3 is a bad product, it's that if you wanna be real zen3 has just a minor lead

I'm sure it's great, I just want to see it against the i9 10900k in gaming to see the difference. The graphic is the perf of the integrated gpu? if so most of the pc gamers don't care. If it's more powerfull that's great, if it's not than... nothing to say.

I will go for the 3600 next year a 20% performance improvement for a >50% price increase for the 5600X is ridiculous.
I really want a 4600G APU, but that one is not coming for the commons, so my backup is the 3600 with my 2011 Nvidia card (no gamer)

kinda wish tehy slapped the 5800 at 10 core, i can see why some bought the 3800, but i think its mostly a mistake not to (i also dont know if there is any reasoning for not having one, but with the chiplet design i can see how it can be complicated)

Pricing is quite disappointing.
For production purposes, not gaming, I will probably get the 3900X for 430 rather than 4900X for 550
I expected to receive a little better value for the buck with this release, but I guess it won't happen.
