Hoping rumours of Ryzen 5 5600 would be confirmed at CES 21, but only higher priced Ryzen 7 and9 non X versions mentioned. Any idea if it will ever land?

There are very few reasons non-x would be released, One is having enough sub standard chips but 7nm technology is at the peak now, pretty well nailed put, unlikely that there will any significant number and releasing them as non-x would cut down on sales fully functional ones.What rumors?
When considering 7nm wafer supply issues I have to wonder under what conditions AMD would be willing to steer 7nm components to what logically would be a part with low profit margins. It probably depends more on how many sub-optimal CCD chiplets they end up with at the end of binning: those with 6 useable cores but don't all reliably hit 5600X or, especially, 5900/X clocks within voltage and current margins. It may have to wait until that pile of parts is big enough before they consider it.
I also tend to think it would be a part for OEM's anyway, like 5800 and 5900 non-X parts are. Therefore no retail boxed SKU's, only tray parts lacking end-user warranties. That helps prop up the profit margin by reducing long-term warranty liabilities as well as marketing costs.
