Ryzen 5000 B2 stepping has lower consumption and lower temperatures
AMD released the latest Stepping B2 version of their Ryzen 5000 CPUs, including manufacturing advancements garnered during the last few months, resulting in more efficient work, lower consumption, and thus lower temperatures.
According to overclocker Shamino's tests, these new CPUs have comparable overclocking capabilities to the Stepping B0, reaching 5.15GHz, but has 30W lower power consumption, allowing them to operate at a 9°C cooler temperature. Shamino also observed enhancements to the memory controller, allowing for the stable usage of 4100MHz memories, something that previously required numerous manual tweaks to work on CPUs with Stepping B0, indicating that these CPUs have several upgrades.
At the moment, AMD is manufacturing all CPUs under Stepping B2, but they have not yet been distributed to all retailers, thus purchasing a new Ryzen 5000 does not guarantee that it will have this updated Stepping. If you purchase one, you will receive all of these benefits, thus you may want to wait a few weeks before purchasing a CPU with this new Stepping.

I'd take 5800X B2 if it goes for 300EUR . Like instant buy
For 3D cache version i don't hope as it will be crazy expensive.
now drop the prices down to 220eur for 5600x and 290eur for 5800x and it would make a really nice option.

There is no point buying any of those when 7800x/ddr5 is on the horizon.

We need a thread on b2 stepping. The actual difference for day to day overclockers between b0 and b2. Is there any way to find the stepping just by looking at it?

look at ddr5 prices alone
then think how expensive r7000 will be, on tsmc5n with 3d cache
and you'll need a new board too,and that's coming with pcie5 so even more expensive than 4.0 boards,probably no b50 board options for early buyers too.
there is no point in waiting for this if you can get a good 8 core already. absolutely. something to hold you for another 3 years.
I'd only cosider something that could take fast ddr4 instead of ddr5 too.the memory is super expensive and the memory controller frequency on the cpu (what intel calls gears and infinity fabric on amd) are gonna gimp the cpus until we can get one that runs 5200-5400 in 1:1 mode.
