    Another artificial shortage?

    We got actual shortages?

    I noticed that you can’t find 5800x3d easily anymore, they selling 5700 variety only now…

      That’s apparently because the 5800X3D was discontinued last month. The 5700X3D is newer even though it’s slightly slower, so it hasn’t been discontinued yet.

      (Incidentally, I found this all out a few days ago and decided I’d better finally upgrade my 1700X while I had the chance, so I’ve got a 5700X3D sitting on my desk waiting to be installed as I type this. Microcenter has them on sale for $180 right now, BTW.)
