They gone now. I didn't get here in time.5800x still in stock, stop sleeping people 😃
And for people saying get them off ebay, sure, but you get no warranty.

Same here, missed the Walmart drop this morning by a few seconds, OOS at checkout and of course the bastages canceled my backorder for the 5950x...I am still looking to consider a 5900X, if I can find one at MSRP. I wanted that orginally, but settled for the 5800X as it was actually available. I can always sell the 5800X to a good home.
You registered just to post this off-topic tripe?It's going to be hilarious when the 10nm SuperFin parts come out and beats 5900 series -- before the 5900 hits general availability. TSMC's capacity on the 7nm node must be a disaster.
Yup...the Desktop PC is not dead after all.All best tech is not available. prices are going up... Cases, ram, mothers, CPUs, gpus.
Feel for you all. It is just the way it is.

Lol thanks, ordered one for 563 all incl which is a great deal for CA folks. Shows 16k ordered and 18k incoming on 1/29, may have a chance lol...I have no idea how legit this is, but from hardocp I found a reference to shopblt.com that seems to have a 5900x preorder process (best scenario there is end of Jan).. I have not shopped with them, but I figure my credit card co is pretty good as sussing out fraud and handling problems if anything is sketchy.
lolAMD could have avoided their supply problems with Zen 3 by releasing 5800X, 5900X, and 5950X at $599, $799, and $999, respectively. Then as supply caught up with demand they could have lowered retail prices accordingly.
I like the fact that they did the honorable thing but from a business point of view I don't know if it was the best move.
I see your point, but when you make these decisions you also have to consider short and long term brand perception damages. Few months of higher profits might not be worth long term loss due to switch of general perception of your brand as more customer friendly.AMD could have avoided their supply problems with Zen 3 by releasing 5800X, 5900X, and 5950X at $599, $799, and $999, respectively.

At least you can carry on with your normal life, sleep at night, and not have to sit in front of a PC with the hope and a prayer you can find one. Sometimes paying a tolerable (to you) premium is worth it. I guess some end users would rather hunt down, add to cart, watch the website crash, and end up with nothing over and over again.Not all people pay inflated prices, as there are still some decent suppliers sticking to MSRP, sadly not all of us can be lucky enough to find one at the right time.
I hope so because your prediction implies a very healthy CPU industry for enthusiasts like usI think its safe to say for the majority of us seeing how fast AMD is flipping gen's on ryzen, that the 7000 ryzen series will be available when there is sufficient stock on shelves and this thread will be a never ending thread CPU only with different cpu numbers.
