To be clear, this only applies if you sacrifice ~10-15% performance for DDR4 RAM. So it's not really "competitive with Intel" because the AMD platform is straight up faster than 13th gen with DDR4. You pay a premium, but get premium performance.
This is socket AM5. Look for B650.

Same price as Newegg, but with a much better return policy. I wonder how much lower this can go?

$449 + $129 motherboard is what it will take to be competitive with Intel.

Actually really decent price for 16 core, my 1950x build is pretty old by this time, I remember back in the days I need it get the ultra expensive x399 board and b die ram.
Still somewhat salty on x399 only lasted 2 generation, where as am4 get 5 generation

20% 2 months after launch, give it another 2 months for 40% off. I'm waiting on their 3D cache versions coming out Jan.
