8600G seems far more expensive than I was hoping. Boo.

Hopefully the real prices will be lower. CES is soon so we won't have to wait too long hopefully.

That pricing makes the 5700x3d more expensive, than what you can get a 5800x3d for now, in the US.

Will be interesting to see how many AM4 motherboards actually get support for these CPUs.

I fail to see the point of having a 5700X3D if it is just a lower clocked 5800X3D. It’s just going to cannibalise the latter when it comes to sales. I mean cheaper is good for consumers, but AMD can easily achieve this by lowering the price of 5800X3D instead of creating a “new” SKU.

The point of the 5700x3d is not scrapping dies that didn't quite meet the binning standards, for a 5800x3d, and instead selling them. This in reality, is a cost savings move. It's not making a new SKU just because they can. Better to make some money on a chip, instead of it just being E-waste. This is a common practice for AMD, and even Intel. A 5600x3d, for instance, is essentially a 5800x3d with 2 cores disabled. On intel side, it is akin to the KF chips being K chips with the IGP disabled.
