Am I going crazy? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

So I realise I'm probably a dumbass, but I'm not sure in exactly which way yet. I bought an AMD Ryzen 5 7600X CPU in mid 2020, but looking online I see the cards under that name weren't released until 2022, and the specs look different??

I wrote down all the specs for my pc after I built it so I wouldn't forget. Could it be that I just wrote it down wrong and was telling people I had a CPU that wasn't even built yet?

edit: yes I'm a dumbass it was 3600X. I'm gonna go crawl in a hole now, thanks for your time.

You sure you didn’t buy a 5600X? It was released in November 2020.

If not, it could be a 3600X.

Why does AMD naming suck so hard

Memory is a funny thing, don't beat yourself up over it. Every time you remember something, the memory itself is altered in your mind. We know now that you didn't have a 7600X, but I think it can also be true that you remembered buying one.

If you ordered it online, what does it say on the order history? What does it say your card is in system info?

When you were deciding for this processor, Intel's similarly priced i5s were no match for it, so if you were looking for Intels as well, you likely would have had an eye on the i7 processors of that time (for a minor performance benefit at a heavy price tag). So maybe that is where your 7 is coming from.
