The AMD Ryzen 7 3700X 3.6 GHz Eight-Core AM4 Processor is a powerful eight-core processor with 16 threads, designed for socket AM4 motherboards. Built with Zen 2 architecture, the third-generation 7nm Ryzen processor offers increased performance compared to its predecessor. It has a base clock speed of 3.6 GHz and can reach a max boost clock speed of 4.4 GHz. Moreover, it features 32MB of L3 cache, 24 PCIe Gen 4 lanes, and support for dual-channel 3200 MHz DDR4 RAM. Users should pair it with an AMD X500-series motherboard to fully take advantage of PCIe 4.0. This processor has a 65W TDP (Thermal Design Power) and includes a Wraith Prism cooler with RGB LED lighting. Please note that it does not have an integrated GPU, so a dedicated graphics card is required.

Not bad considering this comes with a wraith prism fan that's not bad tbh. I would probably choose this over the 5600x atm. Extra 2 cores will probably age a bit better.

Somehow, your one-time "deal" dictates if it should be FP or not? How many of them out there are sold at $170?
"I bought one at $170 from a hobo down the street, why is this FP?"
With Zen3+ cancelled, they will keep making money until Alder Lake, and then they just need to lower prices slightly to again compete.
I think this holiday season, which is not that far away, is going to be real interesting. Now is not a good time for a high end cpu purchase at all.
