Looks like Intel is done for.

R5 5600X is better than R7 3700X for gaming & even i9 10900K in many games. 5600X is a bit behind in productivity compared to 3700X, but that doesn't affect gamers much.
Yeah, although the box cooler, Wraith Stealth, isn't that good. Wraith Prism included would have been a good deal. Lack of box coolers in higher end Ryzen CPUs + price bump makes for a bad value for sure compared to earlier, but still, its not like Intel is better.

~23K is without tax or with tax? Doubt since PrimeABGB price is 27K.
Number of cores doesn't matter, actual performance numbers matter.
3600X was $250, so Ryzen 5000 has a $50 premium across the board, not to forget lack of box coolers in R7 & R9. Maybe 5600 will be out by Feb.
AMD named their APUs, including laptop CPUs in a weird way, like there was no Ryzen 1400G, it started at 2400G. For Zen2 CPU (Ryzen 3000 desktop), APUs & laptop CPUs are 4000 series, so now AMD is cleaning their naming mess.
Nothing much to confuse. There is no Ryzen 4000 series CPUs (the ones with no iGPU), for whatever reason they skipped it. But there are 4000 series APUs (the ones with iGPU) for laptop and desktop. And they are of the same generation as Ryzen 3000 series CPUs.
I didn't know you worked marketing at AMD /s
Yeah, they were for system integrators and OEMs. Even in the listings by online retailers they have mentioned that it's OEM and someone from our forum has enquired about this with AMD and they have confirmed AMD will honour warranty. There are some youtube videos of these chips from retailers and there we can see how the packing would be. Cooler comes in a separate package not like the retail unit.
Definitely, it is expensive. But considering the price hikes & lack of competition from Intel, I'm expecting R5 5600 at $220-250. Time will tell how good future 4c/8t or 6c/6t parts are as those are the ones that will likely be available at 15k or so.
