That's because they were overpriced anyway, on one hand, at least compared to their previous offerings.
On the other hand, competition does wonders, AMD would not offer great prices if Intel lags behind.
All in all, good for people with lower budgets as they have access to higher end stuff.

Microsoft Flight Simulator seems to like 3D VCache.
Wow, that's damned impressive. I didn't realise the standard 5800X performed so well against the 12700K in that title (although I don't know what RAM that setup is using).

ta, looking for a cpu upgrade but don't want to do a platform change as I'm saving for a house so a 5800x3d will keep me happy and scratch the upgrade itch over my 3700x
Daylight savings, if it's 2PM for EU it's 3PM for us
Gibbo said "but you can buy them on 20th at 2pm at MSRP from OcUK and we have stock." further up so that'd mean 2pm UK time to me.
Have you noticed the starter of this thread as been utterly silent since the reviews came out showing it as good as or better than his beloved 12900K in games. Gotta lol at that guy.
Isn't that nearly always the case in every thread that opens to bash what the OP doesn't have?
Half the power draw and cost, too.Have you noticed the starter of this thread as been utterly silent since the reviews came out showing it as good as or better than his beloved 12900K in games. Gotta lol at that guy.

I almost feel bad for them, they harped on about Rocket Lake, and bought into the 11900K which was going to be waaaaay faster than 10th Gen in games or why would Intel release it at all, then bought into the Alder Lake platform (which is actually good) all the while prior to that sitting on a 6700K and claiming to be some sort of technology enthusiast, as soon as any negative news come about (AMD related) low and behold a new thread pops up. I mean I get it some people are brand loyal, but heck the delusions that some people convince themselves of is unreal.

Just blind loyalty from what I can gather that bought rocket lake which no one should have bought
Must have been kick in the balls to see how 5800x3d performs in games
