Sad that they can’t get a decent push on the gpu side of things, but at least it seems stable for now. If they didn’t abandoned the budget market back then I would’ve loved to go AMD on the cpu side too, but the 10400F had practically no competition at the time. I’m seeing some cheaper X3D cpus now too though, which is definitely interesting. But from what I heard they’re kinda bad compared to the expensive variants and the 5600X3D isn’t even available outside the US.
Chiplets are a blessing and a curse, on one hand the ultra high end got a lot more affordable on the other AMD using Desktop chiplets in the entire stack also means less of an incentive to sell low-end budget CPU’s at low margin

AMD saw what Nvidia was doing and said “I can do that too!” Then proceeded to make overpriced video cards that don’t perform that well.
