don't think you would see much difference.

So 5800x is reduced to equivalent of £220 in US but still £390 at ocuk

In one state in the US.

Supply chain issues will affect UK pricing for a long time to come IMO.

I think the chips with the highest chance of becoming bargains are the 10/11th gen Intel chips. Intel over manufactured and they have been largely rejected.

Good luck with AMD cpus coming down in price, with this going on :- https://forums.overclockers.co.uk/t...-ryzen-cpus-for-their-big-l3-caches.18941451/

More likely to do with the fact UK and Europe are the poor cousins when it comes to manufacturers rebates.

Hardware Unboxed are saying after speaking to retailers, anecdotally sales of ADL have been disappointing. If that's true then I don't see Zen 3 getting much of a discount (we might get one in January if the current lineup is superceded by this 3D cache design to clear out inventory space).

5600x is a good upgrade at 1080p.. overpriced now due to Alderlake so wait a couple of months if you want to save £50.

I've never known Gibbo and the gang to talk down about a major product launch but time will tell I guess.

I thought i saw gibbo say he had a tray of 12900k (1000 units) and had already sold nearly all of them.

Did he lie?

There is no context to that, selling 1000 CPU's in a few days could be really good or it could be really bad.

Once Zen 3D launches, I think Intel’s sales will tank pretty badly especially the 10/11 gen parts.

I think Alder lake would have gained much more traction if Intel launched alongside Arc and offered as part of a CPU, Intel board and graphics card bundle. Intel could have positioned themselves as the saviours of PC gaming by giving miners the middle finger.

Intel’s marketing dept could have rolled out Tom Petersen and Ryan Shrout as Mary and Joseph in RGB dreamcoats.

I never said that, I tell you the whispers on this forum are outrageous a times.

If people took the time to look you would see that I said the retail 12900K has nearly sold out, but we have plenty of the 12900K tray available and price it more aggressively to make it attractive.

I also said stock is superb compared to previous launches, but that demand is lower, however saying this the sales are very good, we are certainly not complaining and I know the sales are not a true reflection of demand yet due to lack of DDR5 availability.

Out of interest have you seen any softening in demand for Zen 3 products since ADL release or is demand still strong for Ryzen products?

Any chance you could give us rough ideas of Asus Maximus Z690 Hero boards ETA's please?

Thanks for all your info
