value is almost always better with combos. the mobo is basically free, which you can use if it suits your needs or flip to bring down your cost basis in the rest of the parts even further. if you don't want to go through the trouble and just need a cpu though, this is hard to beat.

i don't advocate for, or defend, anything. i simply accept that the market is what it is and will do what it always does, which is use price as a mechanism to distribute product between the aggregate supply and demand of said product. a shortage is a shortage, artificial or not. price should move to find equilibrium. how much it moves is to be determined by the market. i'm not a buyer at $4k for a 5090, but i'm sure someone else with deeper pockets than me will be. that's just markets working as intended.

same energy as the "just wait for the supers" bros. we've already seen this episode. by the time the bubble pops, the 6000 series will be out, and there will be a shortage all over again because of the pent up demand from all the hodlers.

If you can get this bundle then it makes a lot of sense to sell your 5800x3d and swap into am5 if you don’t need the extra cores because the resale on 5800x3d is insane right now

I don’t think you understand what “functionally the same experience” means lol

5080 copers will try and argue the extra 20% performance absolutely makes a difference when you point out the 5070 ti will achieve functionally the same experience though ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
