Zen4 has a serious price problem. AM5 MBs priced between $300 and $600, 32 gigs of sweetspot DDR5 6000 costing 300 bucks and now CPU pricing that is not competitive with Alder lake... Even if Zen4 is 20% faster than Alder lake, how many people will be willing to pay these price premiums over it? What is AMD thinking?
There should be less expensive mobos releasing soon, but TDP goes up mobo prices goes up as they need to be better build overall.
Only DDR5 seems stupid to me, especially like you said going for cheaper RAM is a waste of money because you lose performance, it's like buying porsche and mixing water with the fuel, and DD5 6000 is still stupidly expensive.
CPU's could be a bit less expensive for sure.
If Intel plays it right they can beat price performance yet again.
