The 1800X was $500 (top of the line 3 years ago), though the 1700 was $330, and the street prices were often lower. Raising prices to compensate for more demand seems like a rational thing to do, the 3000-series did have stock problems. I'm not sure $450 for the only 8-core is value though, hopefully there is a 5700 65W SKU coming. The Big Navi number for Borderlands 3 4K seems inline with a 3080, so if priced right, AMD's going to run the table.
