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

    looks like it might be a pretty good CPU for a budget build if you happen to live near a microcenter, paired with a used GPU maybe?

    Sucks because it’s a Microcenter exclusive. But the 5600X3D are defective 5800X3D. So it’s a very limited run.

      I was wondering whether they were defective 5800X3Ds I’m looking to get a 5800X3D sometime soon, to squeeze as much life out of my b550m cheapo mono as possible lol
