Not sure if really a deal, but thought I would share. Looks like CPU prices started to go back to normal.

Edit - and they said no. BOOOO!!!!
I would of bought it at B&H cuz total would of been cheaper for me using their card..no tax..
IMHO, although 5900 is faster by a little, its just 1 generation newer and the performance difference doesn't really justify the upgrade cost. In fact many folks use the 5900 release and hope the 3900 retail prices drops as a result so I they can save good money and buy the 3900 instead as 3900 offers performance that is close enough. $300 (after selling off the 3900) for 10% difference or less isn't worth it. If you were coming from 3600, or 2700... it might be a different story. 6 core to 12 core is a huge boost in multi-thread performance and you can also open more background apps.
If somehow the 3900 is not enough (wow?), than 5900 is likely not enough too, and you'll probably need the 5950 or Threadripper territory to get any significant boost.

It just came back down to MSRP after almost a year of shortages.
Although this is MSRP its easily the CPU I would use if I were to make a new system today.
Another consideration is Ryzen 3600 or Intel 11400 if you're just gaming and trying to build a budget rig.
DDR5 and next gen at least a year away. I'm thinking early 2023.
A major difference is B550 chipset itself doesn't have PCIE4, only PCIE3.
A B550 motherboard PCIE4 slot comes from the CPU if that has it, e.g. using the coming 5600G there will only be PICE3 slots on the motherboard.
PCIE4 might not be important in the meantime though, nothing really using any close to the full bandwidth of PCIE4.

The 5000 G processors, which only have PICE3, weren't even announced at the time.
But seriously Asus did a stealthy and deceptive job there.
ASRock made it very clear in their B550 board.
AMD Ryzen series CPUs (Vermeer and Matisse)
- 2 x PCI Express x16 Slots (PCIE1: Gen4x16 mode; PCIE3: Gen3 x4 mode)*
AMD Ryzen series APUs (Renoir)
- 2 x PCI Express x16 Slots (PCIE1: Gen3x16 mode; PCIE3: Gen3 x4 mode)*
Here has a diagram of the B550 architecture that only feature PCIE 3.0

Would I recommend the upgrade? For most people, no. It's not noticeably faster in day-to-day tasks, and the most intensive thing I do, video encoding, is already helped along a ton by any modern graphics card (Adobe did some updates for Premiere a little while ago that finally did some really good acceleration on modern Radeon and Nvidia cards).
But 1) My 9900K setup was always a little problematic. I had to delid and run bare die with my NH-D15 just to get the kind of temperatures most people seemed to be getting with the regular IHS. It managed stock speeds OK but couldn't overclock much - the best I could get was all-core 4.9GHz with a -2 for AVX ... which meant in AVX workloads, it was back down to stock speeds. I suspect the issue was more my motherboard than the chip, but hard to say.
And 2) I was itching for a project. When that itch starts up ... eventually, you want to scratch it.
It gave me an excuse to clean out my case, to install a front-panel USB-C, to tidy up my cable management ... basically, to play. As a bonus, it meant the PCIe 4.0 NVME drive I bought a while ago could run at its proper speed.
And FWIW ... Windows didn't miss a beat, putting the same SSD in the new build without a reinstall. It just saw the need for new drivers, got them, and boom ... I'm up and running, even changing from Intel to AMD. I didn't even need to reactivate.
So it depends ... do you have that itch? It's not a very practical upgrade unless you have a specific reason to do it. But we tech enthusiasts aren't always practical, are we?
