New 5700 as well? Nice

I'll think I'll wait at least 6 months before upgrading my 3600. 🤔

I mean whats the point? The 5700X3D will be basically a slower 5800x3D. Seems odd to me. I would have liked to see more CPUs with v-cache like a 5500X3D and v-cache on APUs.

My first thought would be power usage -- 5700X is 65W, while the 5800X & 5800X3D was 105W. However, that turns out to not be true, as a quick check of the 5600X3D has it rated at 105W, while the 5600X was 65W. So that's not it.

I suspect the real point is probably just yields, the same reason the 5600X3D existed (and maybe the 5700X itself, iirc). These may just be the same chips, with 8 working cores (vs 6 for the 5600X3d), but clocked lower.
