Hahaha and you call yourself a neutral. Too funny.
At these prices AMD haven't crushed anything. They could have; they chose to push prices up instead, and now will have decreased sales (ie from people like me who won't buy until prices come down a LOT) as a consequence.
I suspect you're missing something here. There will likely be limited volumes available early doors, and I'd bet there'll be enough demand for them all to be sold at these inflated prices fairly swiftly.
They also don't lose your custom since you clearly indicate that you'll buy when the prices do drop, which Ryzen CPUs have a clear trend for.
IMO, AMD have taken the decision that maximising their income is best served by selling to people like yourself in that second wave, perhaps when a 16c CPU appears and forces lower prices down the stack.
I don't personally like the pricing, and I suspect that the product stack got pushed up a tier fairly late in the development cycle, once they saw the huge interest that was created.
As an aside, the Adoredtv leak wasn't massively far off; the SKUs announced do appear in the leak, just with incorrect naming and pricing. Its true that we don't see the 5GHz SKUs, but perhaps they are being held back...?
