Wow, those 5 lucky people can start buying celebration supplies to properly welcome their 3900X!Mindfactory.de will get ... 5 ... FIVE tomorrow
I wrote "delivered by dozens", it is actually "delivered by single digits", I did not expect that!

Interestingly, I don't see AMD as a defendant.
Somebody mentioned that AMD and Globalfoundries should still have a Cross-Licensing deal so AMD can't really be sued.The WSA may act as a legal shield. Maybe?

But does that mean in case of an injunction blocking imports, AMD will still be able to ship & sell product? Talk about an earthquake in the industry.Somebody mentioned that AMD and Globalfoundries should still have a Cross-Licensing deal so AMD can't really be sued.
It is pathetic from GloFo though. They screwed up their 20nm and 14nm nodes completely, to the point where they had to abandon both and licence a 14nm node from samsung. And then they screw up the 7nm even with IBM's expertise ... and now TSMC is infringing on their patents, despite being first (by a large margin) to each of those nodes?
As people mentioned that's probably a move out of desperation, though considering the money TSMC (and all the others included) can throw at Lawyers it's bound to end poorly for GF.
Thats why I am not getting 3900x number 4. I have a 1600 just waiting to get swapped out with a 3900x, then the 3950x goes where the 3900x was.Playing the wait game for a 3950X as well
Any rumors as when to expect the 3950x to show up next month?
The waiting is driving me nuts..
I'll buy it, when you decide to get rid of it, shipped with original heatsink (don't care if heatsink is used or unused, as long as packed properly). That is, if you don't need it for further BIOS flashing.I have a 1600 just waiting to get swapped out with a 3900x

My own guesswork says a lot of retailers will probably get shipments 2nd week of September, but really that seems like eons away and I don't know how much longer I can wait.
I don't think it's going to come down to a reasonable alternative - so I don't think they'll block imports for that reason. But they can block imports until TSMC pays any licensing fees due to GF, if the court finds in favor of GF. Of course, as with all of these inter-corporate patent filings, there will probably be a counter-sue, and I'm guessing it'll be settled rather than letting a judge determine it. Then, lawyers and executives get a lot of money on GF's side and the price of silicon goes up slightly. Awesome!I doubt the judge would grant an injunction, especially since GF can't offer any of TSMC's customers a reasonable alternative. None of TSMC's customers are really at fault here. The judge would have to be insane (or on the take from Intel; plot twist!) to simply block imports of TSMC-based products without deep consideration and hearing a lot of arguments. There probably won't be a legal interruption of Ryzen 3000 CPU supplies.
I don't know about B&H, but ShopBLT likes to show off product availability...

Demand in the diy market doesn't appear to be slowing in the second month since launch.
I got an in-stock from B&H today, but by the time I looked it was OOS. I am sure soon the problem will go away,

Thank you, and the others, for your responses and perspective. Yes, I did read about ShopBLT earlier in this thread so that has been a helpful indicator of sorts. Will be impressed if they really do get 10,000+ CPUs in one order & shipment!
