Who's ready for the new incoming AMD CPU/GPU hardware?

[chew*]

Do you think it is a yield issue or a potential one for the 8 core CCX chips? Maybe they are trying hoard them for epyc?

I doubt that is even a thing tbh.

typically speaking the dies before they even make it onto a pcb are binned and of course they bin down so anything we get on desktop did not make the cut for enterprise.

It's rather simple, AMD is the performance leader now so they can charge whatever they want. If anything i'm not complaining about 5800x price its more like I feel like they just priced 5900/5950 to low and it's going to steal market share from 5800x. The gap between 6-8-12-16 isn't very linear price wise so much so that I see no room for the rumored 10 core variant ( big grain of salt there ).

Anyway to break it down

5600 $300
5800 $450 2 cores cost $150 more
5900 $550 4 cores cost $100 more
5950 $800 4 cores cost $250 more

Basically the cost per core makes 0 sense whatsoever.

What would make alot more sense is

5600 $300
5800 $400 2 cores cost $100 more
5900 $600 4 cores cost $200 more
5950 $800 4 cores cost $200 more

Making every core pricing linear and worth $50 per core to AMD.

Current pricing the only chip that makes sense to buy is the 5900 as it's the best value by far.

Current pricing the 5800x is the least value by far.
