LOL that was when I bought mine. It’s been a stout GPU so far. Only downside is it ALMOST doesn’t fit in my case. lol

In the past AMD has answered high demand for lower SKU CPUs by down clocking their higher CPUs to the lower CPU’s speed or by disabling cores. It’s possible that the demand for the 5800X3D isn’t high enough for them to get rid of their existing stock so they’re doing that with those CPUs.
