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.
I wonder what the proper price range is for a low-end CPU these days, taking into account inflation and supply chain shortages. The Ryzen 7600 is $230 right now which is a little under $180 in 2015 money, which doesn't seem too bad for a low-end CPU.
The i3-13100 is currently $129 it seems (€150/$165 where I live). I think a $139 4C/8T chip would be appropriate? The current price of the 7600 is indeed fair imo.
