Is there really a market for this? The 5800X is already so damn cheap, I can't see why anyone would opt for a lower clock version for what's likely to be marginal discounts at MSRP.

5800X/3D are not cheap

5800X3D hasn't budged from €/$320 in weeks.

That's what happens when there's a great demand for those chips

I'm eyeing it and it's been around $300 for at least 6 months (possibly even since Zen 4 launched)

In Germany/Austria it dropped to 280€ in September, hovered in the 300€ range in October, currently at ~320€

5800X3D is only cheap by rich countries standards.

Pretty sure they specifically meant the 5800x without 3D, which is actually quite cheap for what it is, in Europe it goes for like half the price of the 5800x3D.

it's expensive af in Australia.

5500 is $145
5600 is $210
5600X is $245
5700X is $300
5800X is $325
5800X3D is $520, only $10 cheaper than the 5900X

If their main use case is gaming then a 5700x3D will probably outperform a 5800x, while still costing less than a 5800x3D
