Sure I guess if users still have an upgrade path on AM4 then these CPUs could be useful but I still think the prices are too high.

5000 series is not all that impressive anymore except 5800x3d for gaming.
But that's my opinion.

Lmao. The CPU is not even released yet, but what else to expect from a dumb spambot. The 9800X3D is in stock just fine though.

Also the 5900x at $226. No delayed delivery dates or anything like that. Also from Amazon, not some Chinese seller. Most of the AM5 stock were bought up by scalpers. Stop buying scalped prices if you want to get rid of them.

And the rest of the processors are more of the same, some units in Europe and there are a lot of scams. Be careful, make sure because I've seen several scams and prices of $200-400 more expensive. I'd rather wait for another scam.
This is a disaster. AMD has to come up with a solution and tell TSMC to increase its production, especially now at Christmas.

funny, just checked Amazon and they have the 7800x for $265.00. You sound like you need to pay off the coffee.

That price is for used CPUs.  New 5900x cost $299 still.
