I understand chip binning and validation, the bad idea comes from the fact of why bother to buy a 5800X3D when you can buy a 5700X3D? As for the validation argue you made my initial point for me. They have a bunch of chips that failed to hit certain requirements, been sitting on them and now need to dump them so here we go. Might want to read my entire post and look at what I am saying before jumping to an assumption.

This seems like a bad idea for AMD unless they are just dumping chips. The 5700X is already as fast as the 5800X when it comes to gaming so I would bet the 57000X3D will be close to the 5800X3D.
Again man no one seems to have reading comprehension. I said UNLESS they are trying to dump chips. So they have been sitting on chips that did not meet validation and now want to dump them, okay cool.
IF they had just thought lets add more chips it would be bad idea.
