Well no because I already have a 5950x
You may well be right, although I would add Skylake to the list. The i7 6700k at 4.8ghz was a stunner when it came out.Already went for a B550 and 5800X system. Intel missed the window (not that it sounds like it will even compete with Zen 3).
These (Zen 3) chips I think will be as legendary as the Q6600 or 2600K imo.
They will be the best chips of the DDR4 era.
Yeah did look at 10850k last month my friend got one at a good price. I don’t mind waiting as my power supply does not come in stock till end of May and also other things I need to buy as well for my new build like a monitor , keyboard, desk , more Ek hard tube connections, dark hero motherboard and the gfx card for 3080 or 3090 when they become available againGave up waiting for a 5900x or 5950x. Just bought a 10850k, got work to do. Some quite good deals out there at the moment on 10 series if you look around
I'd go for a Ryzen 5800x at £350, but the RRP is $449 at the moment, $150 higher than the 5600x.
I'd guess they are having trouble producing them, as they never seem to be available to buy direct from AMD.
