Great little gamer, puts some newer more expensive CPU's to shame.
Only one batch in the US, for £200 globally IMO a permanent run of these would sell very very well, the AM4 platform is still very very popular, because its inexpensive and brilliant.

I would pick up a 5800x3d for £260 tbh.
Just make sure it’s not shipping from China.

they aren’t lol. Even less now. The 5600x3d would be a hard sell for me personally. However it is great that AMD have continued their support and instead of binning these they have made use of them.

£179 max would be a solid purchase.
Not half, but we are never going to get our hands on them for less than £250, well outside of a holiday to the States that is.

Shame its US only bet they will sell well, must have a few wafers left over from zen3
No idea if it's available still, but I'm at Microcenter fairly often. I have a 2nd gen 5800X so I'm not sure it's worth getting one anyway. At the time I got a killer deal on that chip as well.
(To MOD NOTE: I hope it's ok to comment on this because these are IN STORE ONLY for CPU's.)
Right now, it seems like the 5800X3D for 299 (vs 229 for the 5600X3D) is quite a nice deal. I'd still be looking at a 7xxx3D though.

I got a b350 strix with a r5 1600 almost 5 years ago ... moved to a 3700x 2.5 years ago and then to a 5800x3d last month ... all with the same b350 motherboard.
Without wishing to thread hijack (or make a new thread..).
Would it be worth moving you think from a 5600 to a 5800x3d?
I don't use the machine for much really other than gaming (6700 non XT).
The games run well but as I game at 1440P every now and again I do see them struggle...

I made the move but with a RTX 3080 (1440p, 165Hz). In unoptimised titles like Escape from Tarkov and Hell Let Loose I seen a significant performance boost. In Tarkov in some maps like Lighthouse and Reserve (underground) it felt like I bought a much more powerful GPU.
I gave my 5600x to my mother and it's probably one of the happiest purchases I've made. In games where the 5600x is enough, of course you will not see an improvement other than possibly higher minimums but when it's needed, it's a world of difference than the 5600x it replaced plus it will extend the life of your current system. Due to you having the 6700, I'm not sure what you will see in comparison to me but at least you'll have a CPU that will drive your next GPU purchase a lot better than the 5600x will.

Currently on a 3700x so definitely an option to look at if they ever become available.
