Zen 3 offers great value for its cost.
Hey people what are your thoughts on ZEN 3 pricing ? As a r5 3600 user, zen 3 is too expensive imo... In my country r5 5600x cost 340eur in shop and was sold instantly, fun fact it's only 20eur cheaper than i7 10700k , and i5 10600k goes for 260eur. From gamers nexus past reviews highly overclocked i5 10600k could beat i9 10900k in gaming, and from many other reviews zen 3 isn't faster like a lot and it's mostly on par with intel. Okey intel eats more electricity and there is no upgrade path apart from 10900k.But still I think 5600x price is too high, and 5800x shouldn't exist at all. What do you think ?
You're comparing an overclocked 10600k to a non-overclocked 5600x. The idea that Zen 3 is a good value seems reasonable to you. The market price reflects supply and demand.
Are you joking? The 5600x always outperforms the 10900k, especially in most games, let alone the 5900x.
I hope this matches exactly. The current value is 26,000 euros new and 5600 x 340 equals 3,760 euros, and this price will remain stable for some time.
340eur for 5600x is a lot... my 3600 at first week after zen 2 release cost me 210eur, and this price is okey because it's europe. I was expecting like 250eur at most, for 5600 Non X model, but there is no such CPU... atleast at this moment.. also no 5700x I wish to see it for 380eur, it would be slightly more expensive than i7 10700k but a lot faster, meanwhile 5800x shouldn't exist at all, it goes for 500eur now... Only r9 5900x didn't increase in price but also was sold out instantly
The costs appear to match. It seems most items are overpriced, though I might be mistaken. Consider the large sums donated to presidential campaigns during this pandemic—lol.
