I dont know how this is possible, I have been refreshing my browser every 5 seconds for the last 4 or 5 hours. when newegg listed them they listed them as sold out.
Annoyingly, AMD continues to say they have no problems getting wafers. At this point, I think that statement is rubbish.

Thanks. I have been very surprised by my CH VI Extreme X370 mobo. I'm using a Kraken X72 360mm AIO, with Kingpin KPx thermal paste. I'm just using Ryzen Master, HWMonitor and CPUz. The funny thing is when I first OC'd it, I was able to pretty easily get it all the way up to 4450mhz at 1.26875v. I actually got it to run at 4475mhz for a while, but it was not stable enough to complete three runs on CB R20. So settled on 4450mhz at 1.26875v, and was able to easily run R15, R20 and other benches on multiple runs with no problems.
Yes, that is all core static OC. But as I said above, I ruined it by trying to push it too far, and have not been able to recreate it. I do have a screenshot of it though. But now I've only been able to get it back up to 4425mhz at 1.26875v. Which is still good, but not as good as it was. But for an older mobo, I think I have a really good chip.
That sounds great!!! I guess I can't really go wrong with either board, but have leaned towards Asus in the last few years. How hard was it to setup your custom loop? That is the one thing I have not been willing to do yet. I've stopped at an AIO, but have an interest IF it isn't too much of a pain in the a$$. But that is an excellent OC. So that gives me incentive to possibly try a custom loop. What equipment do you use and recommend?
its actually probably binning, you people do realise that what is desirable for EPYC ( low leakage , lower clocking ) is not what is wanted for high end client ( higher leakage , higher clocking).
N7 lead time is 6 months. Nothing they can do in the short term.
Lisa Su said they could get all the wafers AMD needed - and yet, there are shortages. So I'm calling BS.
So AMD should just say what the bottleneck is. Full stop. At least Intel had the guts to admit they couldn’t keep up with demand.
I think the most damning part is that the 3900X is out of stock on Amazon every time I look. It isn't in AMD's interest to have shortages but it appears they either have not or cannot order enough processors to meet demand.
This isn't just a supply issue. I think AMD expected solid demand. The demand has been absurd. Discussed this with the Microcenter guys from a mainstream end and they're seeing far more AMD units moving than even on Zen+ launch. Intel is sitting on shelves rotting. For HEDT they state that when the financial guys come in and state they just want the fastest chip for their heavy multithreaded, multi-program workload, they present Intel and AMD, and the users are taking AMD due to core count and cost. So in the end, I think it's not just supply / binning, it's also that demand is (good for AMD) outstripping even their expectations.
AMD needs to release the 3600 x2
But, how much of current AMD higher-core-count demand for AM4 CPUs, is from prior AM4 AMD CPU/APU customers, and how much of it is from Haswell/Skylake Intel 4C/4T or 4C/8T customers, looking to move up in core counts cheaply, and make that platform switch?
