It’s also been available for nearly 2 years often at a lower price than it is now so the sudden jump in price looks more like a supply issue than demand to me.

AMD Zen 5 rumours
- Thread starter Grim5
- Start date
4 reasons.
1, Pent up demand from people waiting to see Zen5.
2, People hard convincing others Zen5 is rubbish.
3, Intels dire failure rate.
4, People have realised 7800X3D is a stupidity good chip.

Thing is though if you are going to tie yourself to a dead end platform are you not better getting a 5800X3D ?On this note, that ^^^^ is rebranded this...

Or AMD has cut X3D supply to force Zen 5 sales which has a major oversupply problem as expectations didn’t meet the reality.

No, a 13700K is not as you claim literally just changing the name on the IHS with a 200mhz speed bump over a 12900K.

Why pay nearly £300 for a 5800X3D though when you can get a 5700X3D for just over £100

Theyve more than likely gone up because none of Intels slides for their new chips compare to the X3D chips, so those are obviously still wining the race, at least in gaming and also short supply of the 7800X3D, they wont be on the production line anymore with the 9800X3D potentially only a month away, not that im convinced about that, surely if they were due for release in November, reviewers would be getting samples about now, including ES chips would be out in the wild.
To be honest it was more the platform and 3d cache I was referring to but yes 5700x3d is a far better value proposition.

You'll be surprised how fast delivery is , been buying stuff for few years usually week or just over
Risky.

Same, I buy things from China all the time too, especially water cooling parts for my PC, fraction of the cost compared to UK prices, and theres no risk if you use payment services which you're protected with, like you said, most of the time I get them just over a week, once in a blue moon it takes a little longer, i have some parts on there way to me now as well as some parts coming from Germany.
Got mine last Month for £135 all in, arrived 13 days after ordering
Risky.

Cute.
Noob question here, but what does FCLK stand for, and what does is represent/do?
Self import Chinese Durex extra safe, paid for with a UK card online. What could possibly go wrong?

There is a fabric mesh that connects all the dies together, it has an adjustable clock speed, that is the FCLK (Clock Frequency of the Infinity Fabric Interconnect) the higher this clock the faster it is the lower the latency between the chiplets, that lower latency is what you want for higher performance in gaming.
It matters because its tied to the system ram clock, the higher the ram clock the higher the FCLK, there is a limit to that so if you clock the ram higher than the FCLK can clock it puts it in a lower ratio, so from a 1:1 ration to a 1/2 (half) ratio and with that increasing the fabric latency.
