    So there’s nothing “new”, all are just optimized or binned chips…

    By new, I mean with new features, like borrowing the new iGPU from Zen4 APUs, even with lower CUs to match the lower memory speeds. Or getting a new video engine (there’s no AV1 in AM4)…

    I already have 5800X for my main PC and a 5700G on my server, but I will gladly replace the 5700G with something newer (especially newer video codec engine) just to avoid buying a dGPU when AV1 becomes more mainstream.

      Exactly. 5700X3D is perhaps a faulty batch of 5800X3D’s to begin with in the first place.

      The engineering team does have tools to simply fuse off certain elements inside a CPU. So also the amount of cores, cache and what more. Nothing gets wasted in the world of silicon. Perhaps we’re getting a 3 Core 6 Thread X3D CPU in return that we can unlock to a fully working 4 core 8 thread X3D variant. Lmao.
