Sandy Bridge Posted July 1, 2023 Share Posted July 1, 2023 It's finally happening! 6-core X3D on AM4! https://www.tomshardware.com/news/amd-ryzen-5-5600x3d-to-launch-july-7th-for-dollar229-at-micro-center-only $229 for the CPU, $329 for a combo with a mobo and 16 GB of DDR4. Sounds like a pretty good deal, although then I see the plain-old 5600 is only $119 (Tom's says $129 but it's $119 right now), and the 5800X is $179. So maybe it's just AM4 upgrade season. Anyone tempted to upgrade an older AM4 system to the new 5600X3D? It'll be available exclusively at Micro Center, while supplies last, which is expected to be for a few months.
