If you listen to certain posters the answer is just to pony up for the 5900X. Why wouldn't anyone just pay 2.5x what they budgeted for?the 5900X offers 19% perrformance for 10% price increase so there is nothing wrong with that imo.
Now looking at the 6 core segment the 5600X would need to retail for for £209 to offer the same performance increase with a 10% increase over zen 2 pricing and in the 8 core section the 5800X would need to retail £363
Certain people have no ability to see things from any perspective than their own, in their own bubble where they pay whatever the asking price might be.
