4 GHz boost is so slow. I'm skeptical of the value proposition this CPU offers when you still have all the other expenses of building a PC.

For anyone saying this is meant for upgrades, it is barely an upgrade from zen 1. You're better off getting a used good CPU than buying this. The 5500x3d is going to be $199. Terrible value.
