It will never be. This is for people on older CPUs/building fresh and don't want to opt for AM5.

It will never be.

Why not? You don't think that when inventory stops selling that sellers will want to dump remaining stock?

Can't imaging the 5800 line to keep selling forever, especially when the 8000 line, etc., comes out.

But if it never happens thats fine too, I'm really happy with my 5800X. But as a gamer, would love to have a cheap 'upgrade' some day of just swapping out a chip, to get more mileage out of my older (at that point) hardware.

I really doubt the 5*00x3d will ever see a major price drop from what they're at already. I feel like they're just going to stop making them and have 0 issue clearing out the remaining stock since they're such popular chips.

You can get a 5500 or something for well under $100 and build a budget pc that'll play most games - the barrier to entry to become a potential 5800X3D customer is very low these days.

Factor in that it's a hard chip to manufacture and yeah, I can see the current 5800X3D prices lasting quite a while. There's just too many machines out in the wild whose owners want the same thing you do.
