If they have enough "broken" 5800X3Ds to still release 2 new SKUs after 5600X3D, why did they limit the release of 5600X3D to only Microcenter? Or was 5600X3D a Microcenter-only product to test if there was enough demand? As a European I really want to see these cheaper 5000X3D CPUs here.

You'll pay a 50% markup on all tech and you'll like it, okay!

Its cheaper in Europe usually.

Tech prices are always cheaper in the US and always have been.

dont forget that prices in EU already have the VAT included, so yes, usually they are cheaper but not really by that much. (exceptions happen ofc)

Bro, MSRP of items usually goes $499 and then £499 for example, which is already $620. Then they never actually sell at MSRP in the EU and are always inflated on top of that. This is common knowledge to anyone who lives outside of the US.

I can search on Amazon right now for a 4080 for example and the exact same model is over $100 cheaper on Amazon.com
