Microcenter Is Giving Away A Free 32 GB DDR5 EXPO Memory Kit & $20 US Off on Each AMD Ryzen 7000 CPU Purchase

Typically not a good sign to have such a good deal a day or two after launch. Ryzen 5000 similar to GPUs was used to upsell random components. Oh you want a 5950x? Well you gotta buy this random shit tier motherboard that will burst into flames due to its poor quality that you don't need. This time around though, giving a free ram 5600 DDR5 32GB ram kit + $20? Yea I don't think it's selling all that well. Maybe once the B series launches, the lower end parts will get a boost but Raptor Lake with 8 additional small cores and cheaper Z690 boards looking mighty tempting.

Not that it matters much for the 4090 cause the 4080s are the real cause of tension this time around

You know what, I don't mind this branding change. It makes it a lot easier for people to know what they are getting. Lets just hope they don't rebrand next time around...
