The 5800 is a great CPU, but the non-existent 5700, 5700x and 5800 all would have been much better value, and for that I will always hate it.
At $450, the jump to the 5900x and its 12 cores is relatively small (+$100), and I'm almost certain that was AMD's intent.
IMO, msrp should have been $400 (even if it sold for more because of supply v demand issues).
Also- as a Zen 3 owner, if I were in the market to build a new pc and didn't already have a compatible zen 3 motherboard, I'd be real tempted to go Intel right now. Gen 10 prices are pretty damn good and a total system build price would likely be lower than comparable quality AMD. Similar-enough performance and readily available. If you don't mind the 2x power usage

Once properly setup, this thing is a beast and runs much cooler than Intel.
