Whilst you say the multicore aren't as good I feel they're perfectly acceptable
5950X - 10,360
5900X 8168
Compared to Intel 10900 which scores 6399

Assuming this is all true (and all things equal) I wouldn't say an increase from 9166 (found in review online) to 10360 is bad for multithreaded performance when the 5950x 16c/32t actually has a slower base clock (weird...) than the old 3950x (3.4 versus 3.5).
By my maths that's a 13% performance increase on multithreading with a slower clock speed, clearly there has been some base improvements with the core and the single threaded is being helped by the higher boost clocks...

Thats not a bad jump for me on my 1600AF, however I'm stuck on a B450M, so unless ASRock actually drop a BIOS for me next year then I'll be sticking with my 1600AF for now and just getting a GPU to replace the RX580-8Gb and see how much I'm actually held back by the CPU..
The lower end 6 core $50 increase is VERY BAD. People why buy 6 core cpus are extremely on a budget. For designers and creatives adding $50 to save 20% time on renderings is enough to justify coz they buy +8 core cpus.
If you take into account that people who already have m4 MOBOS like B450 and newer ones, you end up spending even LESS money because you'd just upgrade the CPU (not the whole system).
With Intel, you usually don't get that option (you usually need to replace the whole system).
Multicore scores 5000 series compared to 3000 series

A few intel CPUs for comparison
i9-9960X - 6671 - fastest 16 core non-Xeon
i9-10900K- 6399 - fastest 10 core
i7-10700K- 5292 - fastest 8 core non-Xeon
i5-10600K- 3629 - fastest 6 core

I wonder why the multi-core scores didn't gain more.
You'd think that an increase in IPC of 19% would have a more profound effect on multi-core performance.
I realize the 5xxx series has a 100MhZ lower base clock, but that's a difference of mere 3% (and the loss in performance wouldn't be that much).
For example the i5-10600K is around £250 currently. Ryzen 3600X is currently around £175-£180. Even $50 or £40 on top the Ryzen is still cheaper. The i5 is also a 125w part v 65w for the 3600X and 5600X and is probably in real life useage twice the tdp if you apply a smallish overclock

Prices are likely high for the following:
- Clear out old 3xxx stock.
- Maximise first adopter premium.
- Compensate for / mask lack of supply.
If you release a better product at a similar or better price, you end up in a situation like Tesla. Where they undercut themselves and as a result had / have a load of stock they can't shift and so is basically a write off. You must clear old inventory out and for that, people must have a reason to buy it, especially when you're releasing a decent improvement on the next product.
AMD are making the decent business move.
Now, if you'll excuse me, my 12 core monster is not even making it onto that chart so I'm going to break out the special "buyer's remorse" hanky and weep.
