Good catch, must have missed it. And yea, we are going up in both price and tdp (high end) for the CPUs although I will say that AMD isn't fully to blame since TSMC has been upping their cost while Intel owns their own fabs. For AMD's sake, the performance better be worth the prices they are asking cause if the rumour is legit, we are going from the $199 price of the 3600 to $350 for the 7600X for 6 core 12 thread part. |
The 5600X was already $299. It's another jump in price, but not the biggest one.
And yes, TSMC has raised its prices and all that, but AMD could still have other CPUs at launch to catter the needs of more users and budgets. But no, they go with the same ones as the 5000 series and f*ck those that don't like it.
Please excuse my bad English.
