AMD is announcing the Ryzen 5 5600X3D -- except the launch is being handled entirely by Microcenter, including distribution of news, press releases, review samples, and handling of the product. The R5 5600X3D is a peculiar launch: It will be exclusive to Microcenter and, from what the retailer told us, it will be in-store only. Supply is expected to last maximally 3-6 months. The 5600X3D is likely the final AM4 chip that will ever launch, technically extending the platform's life into 2023.

USA only, last gen CPU. Sounds like some kind of clearance stock? Maybe failed 5800X3Ds?

Yep, just binned 5800x3D chips. Better than a landfill though

$250 + super cheap last gen parts they will bundle with is going to make an decent gaming pc for a decently low budget.

Now the trick will be getting one before the bots etc. All scoop them up. The 5800X3D in Canada is practically impossible to get at MSRP in my area. Here's hoping!

It'll be in store only.
