Kind weird timing with AM4 at end of life but MicroCenter consumed litterally every single one. This seems like it would have been amazing value for a budget gaming machine.

219 USD Price Tag ~> 290 CAD

105W TDP, which indicates these are defective 5800X3D. Remember the days of Phenom 710 and 720? The tri-core CPUs.

Well here is the blast from the past, you know what will happen next, right?

And $290CAD is not worth it. The price probably will be even higher, because scalpers.

I also suspect this is only going to be supported on 5xx series board? It's limited run so I don't see why Asus and GB are going to bother with making old 4xx boards compatible with this.

Boards that support 5800X3D will support 5600X3D as well. AMD will also push out necessary updates.

This is also a tough sell:

5600X:
$147.98USD

5600X3D:
$229.99USD

That's a big price difference.

this isn't a bad thing...but it would make more sense to open up their AM5 platform with better pricing rather than breath new life into AM4 and lose sales. mebe they're hoping this will be a stopgap upgrade for those that can't afford AM5 and hope they upgrade when Ryzen 8000 or something is released. <_<

it hurts to remember how I paid $500 for the 5600X 2 years ago when it often drops to $120 on sale now. >.<

It is limited batch that is being 100% managed/sold/advertised by micro centre. I think it’s a good idea overall (even though it doesn’t benefit most people). Basically failed 5800x3d, and there aren’t enough of them to do a larger release, but enough that they didn’t want to send them to landfill.

If someone didn't upgrade already, this may be a good option. Really need to see the benchmarks to see how it competes with 5xxx AM4 and 7600 AM5. Right now, 5800X is about 7600 level of performance so would be interesting to see.

I watched that vid yesterday and was think why woudl anyone build a new system using that cpu those since its so close to end of life. sure maybe if its just the cpu, I also seem to remember that its only being sold in the US. tha tsaid it really doneesnt make sens beecasue I als oseem t orememebr hearing tyha tthe only r4eason those cpus hwere made was becaus e they were ll faulty or something like that so the ychanged them to me that makes no sense at all but I may have miss heard and missunderstood wha twas being said
