Has anyone actually seen the 3300x for sale anywhere?

Probably because the supply of the new stuff at this price point is low. AMD really just wants something at every price point covered. I'm wanting to upgrade my stepson's ancient quad core Sandy Bridge. If the 3300x takes any longer I'm probably going to book the 1600AF at the 105 price point if I can.2 weeks out was what I heard today from my local chain.
Also why did the 1600AF reappear at $105 this week?

Yeah, was looking at one myself, but if they take much longer I might as well just wait on zen3 . At least it'll give me some time to see if any B550 boards are worth it. Stock has been really crappy in general though, from x570 boards to misc. CPU's. Hopefully these issues get resolved sooner than later.Holy shit, it's still ridiculously hard to find these things weeks later!
Wish I could. Feel guilty, lol. My stepson is gaming on a nearly fully used build using an ancient i5 sandy bridge quad w/o HT. It's doing the job with his Rx580 for now. But I want to bump him up a bit. I keep looking at the 1600AF on Amazon for 105Yeah, was looking at one myself, but if they take much longer I might as well just wait on zen3 .

Adding HT alone is barely an upgrade, at least IMO. Zen+ or Zen2 would give him the bump I want for him.Why not just bag a used 2600 for ~$100?

yeah, at 85 it was crazy. Which is probably why we don't see it at 85 anymore.I meant that compared to the 1600AF. At $85, the 1600AF is a smoking deal for what you get. At $105, it brings other options into play like the 2600.
But I agree that something Zen2 is probably what you're after.
I don't know what they're seeing in their sales data, but a $20-30 break on the low end in $ tiers is messed up.
1200af should have been launched at $65.
3300x being what it is blasted in all the launch PR should stay where it is.
The 1600af I get why they raised the price, but seeing as how it debuted at $85 should have stayed there.
Enthusiasts are going to eat up the 3300x bc that gamjng use case that drove 1600/2600/1600af/3600 sales is a no brainier driver for another I socket cpu sale.
My daughters are both on g4560's with RX 560s.... Works fine most of the time, obviously no 4k ultra or anything, but good enough. My son is a step up with a 6600k and RX 570. I run a ryzen 1600 with fury nano, and my wife has a fury x with i5-3450. Yeah, upgrades don't happen as frequently as I'd like, but even at low specs it can be expensive, lol. Looking at upgrading my server and desktop soon, probably pass my CPU to my wife or use it in the server. Not really sure yet, and since nothing is in stock gives me a great excuse to wait it out, lol.Wish I could. Feel guilty, lol.

Yeah, if the 3300x was in stock I would have impulse bought one already.... Now that my impulse has passed (couldn't find stock and motherboards were almost impossible to find as well) I'll probably wait to see what makes the most sense .tbh i have two theories with the 1600AF, either they thought it wasn't going to sell worth a damn so they just put it at a price and hoped to clear out all the stock they had OR they intended for it to be a limited run cpu and when they ran out that was going to be it. instead it actually sold well so they've continued to produce them which probably isn't cheap.
the 3300x though looks like a fun cpu, i may just grab one for shits and giggles to mess with it. curious to see if the 3300x is being used as a test platform for a new CCX design in later zen based cpu's. similar to how they released the HD4770 back in the day on 40nm to test the process before releasing the HD5000 series on 40nm 5 months later.
logistics are still completely screwed up right now so i'd say we have at least another month or two before things start to show signs of getting back to normal. even at my work we were all assuming with everything starting to open again the amount of volume we were moving was going to start dropping, but the complete opposite has happened and now it's starting to go back up again. we're still 230% over what we'd normally be doing this time of year.
I preordered my 3300X from BHPhoto on May 11th... The estimated ship date has moved a couple of times and is now Jun 26, 2020... I would cancel, but they had a brief period where you could preorder for $110 + tax.Y

Lol, it's not just AMD, Intel supply issues have been crap too. It is annoying though, regardless of who, but it's sadly ths new norm.I preordered my 3300X from BHPhoto on May 11th...

These paper launches from AMD are driving me nuts. And it's even more frustrating that these CPUs are available in Europe and Canada. AMD is US-based, and we invented the Internet.... So I don't get why they would not launch here first. It's not like Canada is closer to Taiwan where TSMC is.

Out of stock at Newegg. I have one I preordered from B&HPhoto back in May for $119, availability kept getting pushed back a week every week, today when I checked now says July 16.

Yeah, I gave up and bought a 3700x for my son... Kind went a bit overboard, but 3600 was out of stock and 3600x was at MSRP when I was looking... 3700x was $273, so $23 more than the 3600x (when I purchased, I see some placed back down to $230 again now). Oh well, I'm sure it'll run better than his 6600k, and better than my 1600.Just checked Microcenter and they have NOTHING even related to the 3300x or any combination of it. Its a vapor ware CPU.
At the beg of June I ended up getting my son a 3600 non X and he absolutely loves it. Far more Cpu for $50 less than the avg vaporware price of these quad cores.
Nice, I got an email from them today saying it's still out of stock and thank you for your patience....Got an email from B&H this morning saying my 3300X shipped Says it's due to be delivered tomorrow.
Sam
Yeah, I got tired of waiting and just grabbed a 3700x... And right after I did 3600 and 3600x came back in stock and under MSRP. Oh well,.3700x should still work okJust saw Qty 2, 3300x in Microcenter (Westmont, IL) @ $119.99, no motherboard discount. I checked again this afternoon & both were gone.
Considering 3600 is $160 with $20 motherboard discount, I thnk the +$20 for 3600/mb combo is probably a better way to go.
Yup, that's how I ended up just getting a 3700x... It was in stock and under MSRP. Thinking about picking up a second one.for my main rig to replace my 1600, but zen3... So close, try to hold off, lol.Someday I'll get my 3300X... Ordered on 5/18 from B&H, initial ship date was 6/4, then 6/8, then 6/16, then 6/24, then 7/16, then... no date is showing now. Someday, probably a week before Ryzen 3 launches. Amazon has it in stock for $225, lol.
