They will cut prices for 7950x, assuming Intel undercuts them and sells 13900K for 60k.

The 7800X 10-core chip is based on two 5 core chiplets. Should be those 6-core chiplets where one core is disabled/faulty.

Whoa. Looks like this deal is back in play. AMD was offering G-Skill memory for free with Zen 4 chips. This is even better deal.

It's pretty clear Zen4 is not selling well. I wish we had such deals in India.

Am4 has much juice left in it, am5 is for folks who are still on ryzen 1 or 2nd gen .

All is not as it seems

Still rocking 2700X just fine. Anyone who already has AM4 should keep it and if an upgrade is needed then AM4 has a very wide upgrade path.
AM5 is for people who have the money to afford the platform, period. Even if building a new PC right now Intel 12th/13th with DDR4 or AMD's AM4 is the way to go for mainstream.

Sadly R7 7700 needs to be close to $300 & R5 7600 should be maybe $220, then people might consider. Most PC gamers aren't tech savvy & don't care about AM5 longevity. There's a reason pre-builts sell a lot in US & EU, even the bad ones from Dell.

New AMD Ryzen and Intel 13 gen are both neck to neck in price. There is no budget oriented products at all. And thats the reason that their sale is not looking so good at the moment. There was a time when we would have got a mid range motherboard in the 7-10k range. Now even the basic motherboard Costs a lot more. 10k is the new entry level Mobo.
It's a similar case with processor too.
So any bare bone decent upgrade will definitely cost close to 50k and even then you are not getting the high end. You are getting a little better that entry level upgrade. So most people are hesitant for the upgrade.
