    Not sure I really see the point at this point.

    In terms of performance the 5800x3D lost its gaming crown to raptor lake and Zen 4, which are also much better at MT and oddly cheaper (13600k, 7600(x), 7700x).

    The 5600x3D is on sale at Microcenter for $199, it couldnt even hold MSRP for 3 months. These new SKUs are bins with 400MHz less max boost, nearly a 10% decrease from the exist x3D SKUs. Zen 3 came out 3 years ago, and prices have nosedived so most people on AM4 probably already have Zen 3 at this point.

    I just dont see how these parts fit in. At Microcenter prices are:

    5800x3D: $319

    13600k: $269

    12700k: $269

    7600: $199

    12600k: $199

    5600x3D: $199

    5700x: $169

      Only a small percentage of people in the u.s have immediate access to a microcenter and they don’t ship alot of their stuff not to mention those outside of the U.S.

      AMD isn’t dumb they aren’t going to just put out something where they don’t think they can move units
