AMD Announces $230 Ryzen 5 5600X3D CPU - AM4's Last Stand
AMD is announcing the Ryzen 5 5600X3D -- except the launch is being handled entirely by Microcenter, including distribution of news, press releases, review samples, and handling of the product. The R5 5600X3D is a peculiar launch: It will be exclusive to Microcenter and, from what the retailer told us, it will be in-store only. Supply is expected to last maximally 3-6 months. The 5600X3D is likely the final AM4 chip that will ever launch, technically extending the platform's life into 2023.
Now the trick will be getting one before the bots etc. All scoop them up. The 5800X3D in Canada is practically impossible to get at MSRP in my area. Here's hoping!
