This is disappointing:
- Price increase compared to previous models.
- No Wraith Prism now
- No integrated graphics still

Agreed, better performance but at a higher price as well.

Due to IPC gains, likely that R5 5600X will outperform R7 3700X in games, still will be interesting to see comparisons nonetheless. Wraith Prism is a good box cooler & Stealth is just an ok one, so it affects the value proposition of AMD CPUs. Again, poor competition from Intel brought us here, so it was inevitable.

For those looking for budget-mid range builds, no need to get Ryzen 5000. R3 3300X & R5 3600 are still the way to go, only if the supply issues in India are sorted. R5 3600 is 18k in many places.
 
I3 10100 and i5 10400f are also good alternatives to amd's expensive cpu line-up
They won't be in consideration if not for supply issues of 3300X & 3600, both are better than that i3 & i5. Don't forget that B460 doesn't use RAM over 2666 or 2933MHz whereas 3200MHz RAMs are cheap relatively these days & easily works with Ryzen.

Ram speeds are not that significant for Intel processors, and Amd is taking advantage of the situation by charging a hefty premium for their cpus.

And the zen 3 launch seemed rather underwhelming to be honest.

I'm not talking about Zen3. Zen3's price is same as Intel's 10th gen competition, top ones.

R5 3600 is still a great buy.

I was going to upgrade in Jan 2020 and waited so long but looks like will have to settle for 3xxx series. I don't think they will introduce 5500 or 5600 (without X) anytime soon but as per gain in performance we can assume 5500 to match/beat 3600 or maybe even further

I doubt prices will go down until the Ryzen 3000 inventory diminishes.

$50 isn't much. The problem is that there is no Ryzen 7 5700X and Ryzen 5 5600 non-X.

Yes, lack of cheaper R5 & R7 hurts. But if prices go back of normal, R5 3600 will still be the better value for money. I doubt paying $50-70 extra even for 5600 for 10-15% performance uplift is something than many budget buyers will easily pay.

Damn same case here. Are you also planning to buy a GPU? I need to do an entire build and now I am thinking to just pick up a console instead. All this waiting and speculation along with limited stocks and scalpers is getting incredibly frustrating.

Why would you want integrated graphics on a TOTL consumer chip series explicitly marketed as gaming CPUs?
