OK deal. Buyer beware, this does not have hyperthreading for some reason so it's an 8-core, 8-thread CPU.

Good deal if you're an intel fan boy. If you is smart, you go AMD.

Just bought AMD 3600x 6 core 12 thread for $209. Should I return and buy this one?

No, you have an CPU that benchmarks at over 18,000. The Intel only scores around 14500 on that same benchmark.

However, you might think about returning and waiting for AMD Zen 3 5000 series that is coming in November with a 20% speed increase.

With the way things could be headed price wise (AMD now raising prices) this seems like a pretty good deal if your primary focus is gaming. There are lots of comparisons to the 6 core 12 thread 8700k when the 9700k succeeded it. I haven't kept up with all the details but I believe the 10600k would be quite close to the 8700k in terms of performance, and microcenter sells the 10600k for $270.

Even though Intel is losing on pretty much all fronts performance wise I do not think they will be backing down on pricing, as they still have a much better brand image that is what matters to uninformed consumers (ie 90+% of the population).

I would, because 1) it can overclock, and 2) it has more physical cores (8 vs 6)

I read the 5600 (non x) is not coming until 2021. Seems like AMD is taking a page out of Intels book on this one now that they are all around performance leader

5600 is going to be $300 upon release, right? That is too much. I only have around $200 for CPU.

This is a great processor for a great price especially if you can OC it. It will run 5.1ghz easily. Great deal thanks OP

Why is that, because winter is coming and need an AMD processor to heat the house?
