Great but hard to find

Q: QuestionWhen will this CPU be in stock? I have been searching for websites that have been in stock with this specific CPU, but only Best Buy has it consistently in stock
Asked by DoubleDstrktion.
- A:Answer Restocks are pretty random, BestBuy tends to throw up their items between 10AM and 2pm CST from my experience. I was able to purchase a couple RTX 3080's as well as this 5600x from Bestbuy without too much of a hassle.

Q: Questionhi i buy intel for my son or this?
Asked by joemama.
- A:Answer This chip makes much more sense than an Intel 10th gen. It has a higher IPC than Intel's 10th gen, up to 20% in productivity apps and about 5% higher average in gaming. A much better choice for future proofing than Intel's current offerings.

Q: QuestionDoes this currently support the B450 M motherboard?
Asked by MalakEbayuser.
- A:Answer Mobo makers are suppose to offer a new BIOS starting in Jan. '21 so that the earlier 400 series mobos can run the Ryzen 5000 series CPUs. You should contact your mobo maker to confirm a BIOS is on the way.

Q: QuestionIs this CPU compatible with x570 motherboards right out of the box? Specifically the MSI MAG X570 TOMAHAWK WIFI ATX board. I'm not familiar with the BIOS and doing what is needed to get the CPU to work.
Asked by DrippyBanjo.
- A:Answer Most 500 series motherboards have to have a bios update, but most of them have Q flash capability which make it easier (ive done this by just downloading the bios update from motherboard manufacturer and putting it on a thumb drive). Some motherboards even have a Q flash button on the board itself which is very convenient. To be safe though, check in your boards manual, there will almost certainly be instructions on how to update the bios.
