Intel's hole with the 13 & 14th gen chips keeps getting bigger and deeper.

Regarding AMD's Zen5 price, I've seen rumors/leaks saying both options, that they're both cheaper and expensive. I think I'll way until AMD themselves reveals it.

Also, in the article about the delay of Zen 5, Guru3D (article here), says something that I haven't seen in other places:

"What occurred? The details are somewhat vague. AMD's Senior Vice President and General Manager, Jack Huynh, explained the problem on social media, referring to it as a "packaging issue." According to AMD, the initial batch of processors did not reach the expected quality levels. As a result, these units are being recalled, and AMD is distributing new units that have been thoroughly checked and are free from this problem."

It doesn't tell us much.

I'm fairly sure that the 9900X and 9950X will be cheaper at launch than the 7900X and 7950X did at their launch, and the 7950X was already cheaper then than the 5950X when that one launched. That being said, I'm not sure about the pricing of the 9700X and 9600X, could be that those will be the same price or even slightly more expensive than their Zen 4 counterparts, bringing the prices of the chips closer together.

They could certainly do that, although I hope they don't. AMD has been slowly forgetting about the lower end market that kept them alive for so many years, and they need to have something other than their -G APUs.
