Are you looking for information on when those CPUs will be available? The 5600X is quite appealing, but if you're aiming to save money, it might be worth checking the release schedule.
The 3300 model was launched some time after the 3600 release, so a 5300 version is likely coming soon or mid-year 2021 if you're lucky.
It's been a very long time. The details can vary depending on what you're asking about. After their initial announcement, it took several months for AMD's stock to become available in stores. You might want to wait until summer before purchasing. Welcome to the forum.
I’m likely to differ from you, sir. A 5300x might have fewer cores, but it offers faster clock speeds and suits someone who doesn’t plan to encode videos while gaming via software encoding. Using a hardware GPU instead of a software CPU for encoding is a sensible choice for a mid-range build. AMD should offer CPUs across various price ranges, and not releasing the 5300x would be akin to Intel halting production of I3 processors—those Ryzen 3 and I3 models exist because they serve specific customer needs. That’s my perspective on the issue.
The CPU design varies across generations. In Zen 2, they offer four cores per core complex, making it straightforward to build a multi-core processor without relying on faulty chips. With Zen 3, each core complex has eight cores, but to achieve four cores, they disable other cores—wasting performance. This approach seems counterproductive since they can sell the same chip at a higher price using cheaper components. AMD might target budget segments by using lower-cost Zen 2 parts or rebranding them, or wait until they have enough subpar chips to justify a better product.
I’m completely certain about the core count distribution: quad cores offer two per core per cluster, hexa cores provide three, octa gives four, and so on. I recall seeing this information somewhere specific.
