You are either very late to the game or just in time.... Best time would have been before the new chips from AMD and Intel dropped and spiked the price of 7800X3Ds to beyond stupid. Im guessing higher end Zen 4 chips have also seen huge price spikes because of the new gens performance when compared to the old and everyone is just buying up the old stock because its cheaper rather than continue to keep waiting.
On the plus side. 9800X3D is rumoured to be $450 at launch according to HUB (I think they said it was $450...) which was average price of the 7800X3D before the market got destroyed and they started selling for around $600 give or take. YOU WONT SEE $450 AT LAUNCH. No way in hell will you see that price at launch but I dont think they'll be as over-inflated as the current 7xxx chips.
So either way you slice it you've still got a short wait ahead depending on launch pricing. If the market has already had their fill of remaining Zen 4 chips. Then people wont be buying Zen 5 chips in huge numbers and if thats the case then there wont be a reason to keep the prices overly inflated because it helps no-one.
As for me - I was really really butt hurt when my new 7800XT died. My disappointment was immeasurable and my days were ruined. I was hung up on it for two months?? I poured all the money from the refund into a separate hobby so at the moment I have no itch because I have no budget left for anything big and the only big thing that needs doing is replacing my 6700XT which wont be until next year as Im unwilling to pay inflated launch prices.
