AMD Said to be Releasing no Less Than Four New Ryzen 5000-Series Chips in March
According to yet another leak, it would appear that AMD is planning to release no less than four new CPUs in its Ryzen 5000-series this month, with the obvious headline product being the already announced Ryzen 7 5800X3D. However, details of a further three CPUs have turned up on Twitter and it looks like AMD is planning to go head to head with Intel, if the rumoured price brackets are indeed correct. The expected three new CPUs are the Ryzen 7 5700X, Ryzen 5 5600 and Ryzen 5 5500.
The Ryzen 7 5700X is as expected an eight core, 16 thread CPU that is said to be cheaper than an Intel Core i5-12600KF, which means an MSRP around the US$250-270 mark. The six core, twelve thread Ryzen 5 5600 on the other hand, is said to be cheaper than the Core i5-12400, so it should get a sub US$200 MSRP. Finally the six core, six thread Ryzen 5 5500, is said to land at the same price point as the Core i3-12100, pointing at a US$130 MSRP. Unfortunately, no indication of pricing for the Ryzen 7 5800X3D was given, but based on the fact that AMD seems to be dropping the pricing of its current Ryzen 5000-series of processors in the US market, it'll hopefully get a competitive price point.
Update Mar 8th: According to a post on Facebook by a computer shop called TechMovers in the Phillipines, we can except an additional two SKUs to what leaked this weekend. No actual specs were provided, but in addition to the Ryzen 5000-series chips mentioned originally, it looks like AMD is planning on adding a pair of 4000-series models as well. The two chips will be the Ryzen 5 4500 and the Ryzen 3 4100. These new chips might not even be based on the Zen 3 architecture, considering AMD put them in a series of their own, but as these new chips are expected to arrive later this month, the wait won't be too long until we find out what AMD has in store.

6-12 months ago was exactly that. A past. You should not make purchasing decisions based on past availability and prices.
My B350 mobo did not support Zen 3 anyway and the latest Bios for it was relased in 2021 August and nothing since.
I'm more than satisfied with my 12100F so no regrets, especially after I managed to sell my old stuff in less than a day so the overall cost wasn't that much.:)
I mean you buy a AM4+ board now and your good for the next 3 to 6 years at least depending on what you want (5800X 3D) or even a 5950X.
Times are quite better compared to 10 years ago.
As for the SKUs, depending on clock speeds and caches, this looks excellent. 6 cores at $130? Yes please. That 5500 looks like a fantastic value play, especially with some PBO tuning and an affordable B550 motherboard. (Wait, I can't remember, is PBO limited to X SKUs?) This has me a lot more excited than the 5800X3D, that's for sure.
Intel most likely will still hold the performance crown, but in gaming scenarios the advantage will be neglectable. ;)
You need to learn to chose your wording and you can't expect us to go look at pricing in every country in the world when we're posting something that might not even end up being true.
It's an indication of a potential price for a potential product, so how can it be flawed when everything is based on guesstimates?
I wasn't talking about sales either, they are just cheaper then MSRP.
Of course it's a good measure of comparison, what else do you expect me to use? I have no idea what these CPUs from AMD will cost, just hints by some dude on Twitter.
So should I use US, EU or Japanese prices to compare with? Maybe Icelandic prices?
Seriously dude, try to live on the same planet as the rest of us instead of coming up with redicicolous accusations.
And it's cheaper than.
People on high-end Zen 3 systems will skip this upgrade. Most of them will also pass on Zen 4, as 5900X and 5950X systems are good enough until Zen 5, at least. I will certainly do that.
People on mid-range Zen 3 and older gen CPUs might want the last upgrade on AM4, to extend life of their systems for a few years. But some of those owners might want to save money, skip this offfer and move onto AM5.
Also, this offer is not only for individual users. I am sure that small business with several older systems in their offices will find this discount offer and new CPUs on AM4 very attractive, indeed.
AMD simply isn't allowed to, we want AMD to lose so that Intel regains its monopoly.
