The issue is that this generation is much slower than the Zen 4 (which almost as fast as Zen 5). It may be worth buying one if you have an old mobo though. A good way to get 16 core performance with cheaper DDR4. Much better than the LGA-2011/2066 2P frankenstein server builds that are popular which burn way more power and can barely match this processors performance.
Anyway, most Microcenters have been out of stock for it anyway or at most have like 1. This post has like 30 thumbs up but there were probably less than 30 processors available nationwide, lol. Only exception with decent stock was the NY area. Might just be worth buying online if you don't live close, this processor was $220 ish just yesterday. You have to ask if it is worth your time and gas.

I thumbs upped this deal before trying the MC link --and spot checking nationwide could only find 1 in stock in Duluth, GA.
But based on this comment I checked Best Buy. They currently have it listed at $349, on sale $309. A chat with a rep led to price match at $199, AND he applied some BB rewards certificates I had in my account that otherwise would have expired this weekend. Great deal, thank you for the idea!
Happily extends the life of an existing AM4 build.
I happened to have time when I saw the deal, and it wasn't a great effort. I figured it's worth posting even if only for price history and future price discovery. I am glad people found a way to price match it to make this deal more widely available.
