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.
I’ve seen this mornings update saying 220 have come in, are these all 5950x’s? Or a mix of models? And are some of those allocated to their in house build orders?
Asking as I’m 213 in the queue.....
It literally says that it’s just 5950 getting deliveredI take it the update today was ONLY referring to the 5950 seeing as I am 1057th in the queue for my 5900 and Gibbo claims there are only 120 back orders left????
April 2021 mateAny word on the 5900xs? Im 234 in the queue.
My 5950x has arrived. Mind you at the other place I am position 390.
I’ll be installing it tomorrow!

No it doesn't. You can infer from the previous updates that he's talking about the 5950x but in today's update there is no mention of any product models.It literally says that it’s just 5950 getting delivered
