Mf why right after i bought a 5700X

The main issue with the 5500 was the lack of cache I think? It could be a good upgrade for like a 100. 🤔

I’m still on my old and trusty 3600.

This makes zero sense

Time to upgrade. This 5600x just isn’t cutting it anymore.

OMG! Didn’t expect this to happen.

AM4 was the best investment ever.

wtf

bruh i JUST bought a 5600g

I wonder if these are limited releases, or replacements.

They’re still making 5800X3D chips due to popularity, tuning them down a bit for better yields or something and selling that for less money would give AM4 users a good upgrade for a long time.

If this is true, I wonder how they would price them. You would also think they’d want to get more people on AM5 especially since 2024 is right around the corner, as is Zen 5.

I don’t like those lower clocks, we’ll have to see benchmarks to see if they’re going to be worth it over a standard 5700X.

brace yourself, agesa 1209 is comming

This would be epic. AM4 Uber alles.

If it does happen, I would assume that it’s because of bad bins from 5600X3D and 5800X3D production, the 5500X3D would probably be another limited time Microcenter thing, the 5700X3D would probably stick around for awhile considering the supply of 5800X3Ds seems to still be very steady.

We went from Zen 3 being the last generation of AM4, to ZenX3D being the bonus generation of AM4 where the 5800X3D is the only chip with X3D technology, to 5600X3D being the final drip feed from microcenter exclusively where people told me it’s gonna be rare like 3300X, and to now 5700X3D and 5500X3D rumors floating on the horizon.
