Any word on low-end AM5? (self.amd)

The release of the Ryzen 3 5100 and Ryzen 5 7500F is great and all, but is there any news on low-end AM5 CPUs? Specifically something like a Ryzen 3 7100. While AM4 is a great platform and AM5 might not be the most cost effective choice right now, I’d like to buy something that can be upgraded in the future, if needed.

Due to the disparity in AM4 vs AM5 board and RAM cost, I doubt there is much market for a low-end AM5 CPU right now. I would expect stocks of AM4 supplies to start dwindling before low-end AM5 CPUs are produced.

Yeah, AM4 is where the budgets at right now.

and AM4 will still be ridable for years gaming wise with a 5600x/56003d/58003d, a solid video card, and 32gb of ram.

Yeah that makes sense, AM4 would be better bang for your buck for now and if needed you could still upgrade. It would be nice to have the option though, but binning is only cost-effective up until a 6-core, I guess…
