AMD Ryzen 5 5600 Rumored to Launch Early 2021 for 220 USD

AMD recently announced their first Ryzen 5000 series chips catering to the high-end market. AMD announced the Ryzen 5 5600X, Ryzen 7 5800X, and Ryzen 9 5900X with the bold claim of gaming supremacy. These chips came with price increases across the board over their predecessors being priced at 299 USD for the Ryzen 5 5600X, 449 USD for the Ryzen 7 5800X, and 549 USD for the 5900X. The AMD Ryzen 5 5600 which is expected to offer the best price to performance was not announced at the event to the disappointment of many wanting to upgrade their Ryzen systems.

According to a recent report AMD plans to release the Ryzen 5 5600 in early 2021 for 220 USD. This represents an 80 USD price cut over the Ryzen 5 5600X and a 20 USD price increase over the Ryzen 5 3600. This launch will likely coincide with BIOS updates for 400 series motherboards to support Ryzen 5000 chips. If AMD can match the performance of Intel's i5-10600K with the Ryzen 5 5600 they will likely have a very impressive value chip on their hands.

londiste10600K sells for ~230 right now. 5600 needs to beat that.
Early 2021 means it needs to contend with whatever Rocket Lake is going to bring to the table.
Where are you seeing that? The lowest price I can find for the 10600k is $246.77 at shopblt.com and it looks to be out of stock at that price. Micro Center has it for $275 which appears to be more legit;

I am in EU. The prices in US and EU are usually roughly equal in number with exchange rate difference between $ and € making up for taxes difference.
Mindfactory has 10600K for 238€ and 10600KF for 227.20€, both in stock.

EU also...

Here 10600k is from 250€.
I assume that 5600X will start at launch at around 320~350€ and by the end of the year will drop to ~300€, as this the case with almost every PC hardware release.

If a future 5600nonX exists at 220$ then here at launch will be around 250+€ and after 1~2 months will drop to ~220€

Last year I bought the 3600nonX 1 month after launch at 210€.
