So if it's pcie3, these are likely 5700G CPUs that have a failed igpu? Otherwise monolithic Zen3 chips?

this would have to be dirt cheap to even bother purchasing

Or be as bland and boring as the 14th gen series. People pretend AMD launching all these AM4 products is due them being stupid or trying to rob consumers. The less waste the better, so I don´t mind them recicling w/e name as long as they can, they are not selling it as a 7000 series CPU or a 5750X or other dumb brand trying to deceive is something better.

With the 5700x at 150-170 eur/USD I can not see that one even being on anyone's list if it does not come out for 100 eur/USD or lower^^
