Remember that TSM already did ninja everything to N6 for cycle times.

Why would AMD start producing N6 Vermeer if they probably have all the floorplans for N6 Warhol already?

The AM4 gamers most likely to be on the market for an upgrade should be Zen3 users as they'd be the last in line to upgrade to AM5. And for those, churning out more vcache-less CPUs wouldn't do much good.

This makes no sense. It is completely disconnected from reality. At least in the western markets I check on. The Ryzen 5500 is selling for $92 but in 2nd place for sales here. Your contention is disproved immediately. More people are buying it than any other CPU except the flagship gamer.

Never existed.

Which is crazy since the 5500 isn't even Vermeer, it's Cezanne.

Here in Euroland there's plenty of Vermeer Zen 3 options. It's just the X3D that are gone.
As I said, I went to newegg and saw mostly the same prices and options and thought it was the same case.

Could it be that not every person buying a Ryzen 5500 is building a gaming desktop, and when AMD is talking about "reintroducing AM4 products for gamers", they're not talking about the people buying 5500?

My thoughts. If you're going to spend $220 for a 5800x, you can often find 5900xt or 5950x processors (on ebay. just checked $330) for near $300. In many ways the 5950x is 3rd behind the 3d cache processors as it has the highest power and boost.

Just to brag my horde. I got a 5950x, x570 Aorus Ultra Wifi, and 32gb corsair vengeance RGB for $325 back in april. Runs like a charm too. Golden sample CPU.
