But both CPU's also have the same IO die, package, and shipping costs. The only difference between a 5800X and 5950X is one single chiplet and a slightly better bin. All other fixed costs remain the same.

I can't see something as small as a chiplet die costing AMD more than £50 (likely far less). They whole reason they use chiplets is because it makes them cheap to produce. So if they can add ~£50 cost to a product that retails for ~£300 more, that's why AMD do just that.

The thing is, you can ship larger volume with single chiplet SKUs, more volume with lower binned dies. High end chips are always low volume ones. You can see by the number of orders placed, that 5950x is not the highest in demand product from 5000 series :)

European countries got stock for everything this week, albeit small but all processors are available in at least 5 shops in a small country of Estonia for example

The place I got mine opened this year and has small queues. I ordered from them on the 15th and it arrived today. It’s worth avoiding the larger sites if you want one soon
