I mean 5600x was like $300 when it came out.

Good cpu for most gaming that can be had for 200 bucks. That 3d version is prolly still gaming value sweet spot.

I mean sure, and their lineup has changed with the x3d chips, but I just mean $279 for the x600x line isn't the most expensive they have launched at. I don't see how it is a 'dissappointing' announcement, especially when the prices are naturally going to settle at a lower price most likely after launch anyhow.
