Review 5800X/AM4 'better' than 11700K/LGA1200 - Hardware Unboxed Head to Head

[B-Riz]

Ugh, finally, I can stop arguing with people as to why a 5800X is a better choice and value versus most LGA1200 choices.

The 5800x is also the one Vermeer that you can reliably purchase.

Have a look around, the 5600x is in stock at MSRP all over the place now. Word has it, that will be the norm as "AMD is flooding the channel".

AMD definitely is flooding the channel.

i'm seeing 5600x,5800x,5900x all in stock only the 5950x is abit hard to find right now in Canada.

Can confirm the flooding for Germany as well. Going by the price history this seems to have started at the end of last week.

I feel slightly grumpy, I was predicting massive availability by end of June / beginning of July.

Same here in Denmark. In stock at MSRP.

5800x literally looks like the superior offering. Those Intel cpu's need a makeover!

Glad to see 5000 series reliably in stock. Doubly glad I just sold my 3900x/3600 for a nice price before used prices plummeted 😀

The entire range is available locally for me. MSRP too.
