You can get a 5500 or something for well under $100 and build a budget pc that’ll play most games - the barrier to entry to become a potential 5800X3D customer is very low these days.
Factor in that it’s a hard chip to manufacture and yeah, I can see the current 5800X3D prices lasting quite a while. There’s just too many machines out in the wild whose owners want the same thing you do.
