AMD Ryzen 5000 series are getting cheaper ahead of Intel Alder Lake release

Thank you Intel for making AMD cheaper. I wouldn't bite the bullet on Zen 3 just yet however and instead, wait and see how Alder Lake S performs as the discounts won't be going anywhere. If Alder Lake S is faster than Zen 3 and you get DDR5 and PCI-E 5, then it might be the better choice. But if it's a shit show, then you can still get Zen 3 at a discount.
