I can acknowledge the positivity in having it exist as an option, while also stating that my opinion of the pricing is not worth the value. However, it is a Halo product, much like a 5090, and Halo products can receive Halo pricing, and in that instance, can be understood. It doesn't remove the existence of, or change the price of, the 9950X3D or 9950X; therefore, it's fine.
I have, of course, requested one for a review sample, and have emphasized perhaps more of a focus on synthetic, system, AI benchmarks. Though gaming would of course not be forgotten, but I'm pretty sure we know what to expect there.
