Feels like too little too late as far as this generation is concerned. Though I suppose these are aimed at people on older AM4 motherboards that will be compatible. This lineup makes some sense as a simple drop-in interim solution that should tide people over for a year or three.

Dropping a 5700x in place of my trusty 1600 and calling it a day is my plan ... Or 5800x or 5600x or 5600 .... It will all boil down to their retail pricing here I can buy now 323 euros the 5800x and if it was not for the new releases I would have done that already.
