Remember when 8 Cores 16 Threads would cost you £1000? 10 Cores 20 Threads £1700?

Now you're getting 24/48 for £1300 and 32/64 for £2000. yes its a lot of money, but its a lot of CPU, you can always go back to Intel and get 18/36 slower threads for £1000.

When Intel do 32/64 at under £2000 you can say its overpriced, until then its all you've got.

The Irony in that is this is what the Intel crowd used to tell us when the rest of us borked at their HEDT pricing :D This is really not bad pricing at all, for what you are getting and not compared to back when AMD had no answer to Intel, if the tables we're turned you'd be paying a lot more than £2000 for half the cores, AMD utterly dominate in this sector, Their prices do reflect that a little, but it could be far far worse, allow them this, they deserve it, but yes you're right to keep an eye on it.

^^^ One can always dream. In order for this ^^^ to happen, AMD must execute much better and render the intel product lineup obsolete.
In reality, the Ryzen 3000 didn't disturb intel in any way.

Look at how ther AdoredTV lineup looks millions time better than the one in AMD's poor brains:

Even you know the 3600 is the best selling CPU period, Amazon its consistently #1 in the best sellers list, you recently posted a mindfactory slide where the 3600 alone was outselling Intel's entire lineup.

Remember when 8pack was selling 7700K's for a £1000. How the market has changed because of AMD.

Ryzen 5 2600 is 1, Ryzen 7 2700 is 3. Ryzen 5 3600 is 2 :D

Ryzen 5 2600 is the best selling part and it's because of its price 115-120$.
Imagine how much better AMD's Ryzen 3000 would have been if the pricing was lower.

Sounds like a genius plan.

With no competition, undercut the previous product you're still selling through.

Ah right, that's a problem, so now we need to make the 2000 product cheaper than the 3000 again otherwise it will stay in inventory forever.

So back we go to the 2000 being cheaper than the 3000 and since the above was a waste of time it just doesn't happen.

They wouldn't be able to keep up with demand and even if they could produce enough chips they would still be constrained by the number of available motherboards.

Did you even look at my sig? I think I was one of the first on the forums to get Threadripper.

The 24 core TR just doesn't look like an attractive proposition against the 750 quid 3950x. Plus they've cut off existing x399 owners from an upgrade path. I'm also disappointed with the new TR boost clocks - TR chips have traditionally had the highest boost clocks in the Ryzen lineup. So yeah, I think I'm sitting this gen out.
