The price/performance will make this a dud most likely, might be decent at games but every other task already outclassed by something like a 12700k. And AM5 just around the corner.

Seeing the game performance will be interesting but I'm not expecting anything great.

AMD is a premium company, this is their premium gaming product and if the GPU market has taught them anything over the last year is that there are plenty of numpties who will pay well over the odds for gaming focused products especially if supply is tight.

If AMD sets the price high enough, the won't sell many. One way to make a part "low volume" is to over-price it.

I agree, but I think it's something to do with TSMC's new process technology that is being used for stacking the cache that hasn't been ramped up fully yet. Also, most of the good chips are going to Milan-X for a lot more profit and market share where it really counts.

Still I hope for the best and that the rumours are wrong because an 8 core chip is a difficult proposition at a high price unless it has truly revolutionary gaming performance.

It's probably going to be a proof-of-concept dry run for Zen 4. So limited run, and fairly expensive. Which isn't too much of an issue. Those already on 5xxx CPUs can simply upgrade to Zen 4, and anyone else who want's to squeeze some more time out of Zen 3 (from 3xxx or below) can grab a cheap 5800X or 5900X.

I don't, just taking a guess based on what happened with Zen 3 and taking their time to lower prices to be competitive.

Thing is iwhen Zen 3 was released it was the premium performing part by quite some margin so they did not need to worry about price, even if teh 5800X3D takes the performance crown it would not be by much so they do not have teh same leverage to price their parts so high
