Seems like they're going to wait an extra long time to discount the 5800x3d. All of us 5600x-ers are trying to be patient. Feels like intentional withholding.

5600x-ers?? You mean us 3600-ers?! Pshhh, 2 year cycle kids. Jk jk jk
This was a great upgrade from my 2700x but be aware it runs HOT. I naively thought my Wraith Prism air cooler would continue to work for me, but it sounded like a jet engine and the chip was thermal throttling. I upgraded to a 360mm water cooling setup and that handles it just fine, but it was an extra cost I probably should have known I needed to budget for!

Was looking at benchmarks, yes x3d has a huge lift in some games
Ah! I'll hold out and see if anything comes up for BF, CM and all the other holiday sales.

That will be an incredible upgrade. Your comment made me chuckle.
I built on a 5800x last year right around BF (paid $200ish at mc). Upgrading from an i7-3770K build.
