Oh another thing - there are reports AMD is now massively prioritising consoles and APUs over desktop CPUs and GPUs:

So as Zen2 older stock gets depleted,what do you think is going to happen to newer Zen2 stock,or its replacements??
So 7NM supply is going to be tight now,and I doubt pricing is going to get better,unless Intel actually has something decent next year. But the problem is even AMD 12NM parts have shot up in price,which I can't explain. There should be no problems with 12NM supply? Intel OTH seems to be not really affected?? This is why if you are on a budget,the Intel parts are increasingly an option here - £30~£60 for the comparable Zen2 AMD CPUs,isn't worth it. AMD was recommended over those parts,when they cost the same or less.
