In South-Africa we always have stock of these CPU's however, though supply is no longer an issue, their prices remain the same, these stores run purely on so-called "discounts", as everything is discounted all the time (not really, they just look discounted, but it is just the normal price to fool people that think they are getting a great deal)
surely your 4670k has more than 4.2ghz in the tank. south africa cant be much hotter than western australia

Hats off AMD, But Just still bought an I9-10850k because NO stock and had to ridiculously over pay for a RTX 2060 GPU just to get my system running. Cant over pay for 2 items.
great choice of CPU. but, why you choose RTX 2060? for short strategy, better get 1050ti/1650 and later upgrade to 3060 as the good future proof minimum. RTX 2060 is good card, but, FOR THESE PRICES, THEY SELL THE SH*TTIEST ONES, GIGABYTE 2-fans only, ETC.....

their FX glue-two-cores-together thing
lol, there were Opterons on AMD side, and Core2Quad on Intel side, no "invention" here.:D

Plenty of stock bro and discounts. How could you've missed it?




One more refresh for AM4 would have been nice. I got a CPU but if it turns out to be 15% better as they claim, might pull a trigger on this one as well.
especially $20 is BIG DEAL:roll:

I understood the demo of the 3D technology as showing the benefits of adding the extra cache to what was otherwise an unmodified Zen 3 CPU, so I see no reason whatsoever to think that this has anything to do with the Zen 3+ microarchitecture. As for the Zen 3+ microarchitecture being cancelled - at least for mainstream desktop CPUs, the rumors now say it will still make it into laptop APUs - if that's true, supposedly it's only because Zen 4 was ready earlier than expected (plus the product cycle being stretched out due to the chip shortage).
And it makes sense that even if Zen 3+ is great, Zen 4 will be even better.

The point is, it is available widely since people claim there's still no way for any AMD chip purchase which isn't true. If it's $20 cheaper that's just a bonus it doesn't matter at this point.

seems you dont understand caps... maybe you are a content creator but that cpu is insanely higher then...well everything lets use the new gogrouse ratchet and clank game look the the reviews if u need to to see the beauty ... your cpu is insanely higher then the 400 dollar new consoles... but your gpu is about 35% weaker and gpu is 80% of the time the bottleneck in all games... so over playing in 2021 for the 20 sereis that was considered bad in 2021...why that was almost a 2018 card.. did you spend more ten the 299/399/499 last has a terabyte ssd and a 4k player.. for much much less power. if so why??!?
