5600X comes with cooler, the rest do not.

It is absolutely fine performance wise. I think he meant for the asked prices it's not good.

Not happening unless AMD starts Milan-X production again. Which they won't....

We don't all evaluate opportunity cost the same way.

The flagship Intel CPUs always held their value because many would rather overpay for the fastest CPU for their socket. Instead of needing to buy a new board, maybe a Windows license and reinstall, and sometimes, new DDR generation. Then need to invest time in getting it up and running.

Same reason some are paying $500+ for the AM4 flagship. And it will play everything well for years to come.

I also understand why for others, the scale swings the opposite way. No upgrade path. Many are using a GPU that their present vanilla Zen 3 can drive just fine. If building out a complete system, the extra expense to get on AM5 is not terrible as a percentage of the total cost.

I have to admit, I am tempted to sell one of my 5800X3Ds. Could make a bit of coin, and help out someone else that will use it more than I do. Would not soak anyone for 5 bills either; Ferengi suck.

If anyone is still inside a reality distortion field strong enough to think platform longevity does not matter, here is today's example. This has been going on for a good while now, with no signs of slowing down.


It isn't a DDR4 thing, or LGA 1700 would not be MIA. WTF? At Ryzen 3600 being in the top 10 and outselling everything Intel. Can't keep up with demand for the 5500, the ship dates keep getting further out.

But but but nobody does CPU only upgrades!

Bow before my upgrade timing

To add, the 5700g has gone up in price over the past 3 months now up to $180 or so last I saw.

The first post in this thread was over 5 years ago. And here we are, still discussing Zen 3 being among the best-selling CPUs and mainboards. No way anyone saw that coming. Probably not even AMD.
