Wheres the Wraith Max?

Solution
Haven't heard anything for a while..... but they were going to be limited to 1700X and 1800X.

I assume they'd have to be requested by vendors, as there was no mention of selling them only with the cooler, it was going to be option #1 (no cooler) for $X and option #2 (with Wraith Max) for $Y.

That was pushing 4 months ago now though.

Ultimately, the proposed price increase for the CPUs with boxed coolers was something like $50..... Given that pretty substantial price jump, either they're not ready yet, vendors don't think they'll sell, or AMD have quietly forgotten about the launch and hope everyone else will too.


Just my guess(es)
