I wouldn't call it paper, but I'm not sure how its not. I was lucky af to find this at microcenter. I think where I live in the Atlanta GA USA region, it might be one of the high yield markets for Microcenter hence why we had the chips down here. Maybe the store got preference from AMD or MC headquarters.
The problem with Europe is that AMD is an American company so obviously it would seem that America gets the first run, then europe will get the second is what I would suspect.
The main issue is that Microcenter wants you to go to thier brick and mortar stores, which I understand fully given the age of amazon and online retail. But you cant order the stuff yet from thier site and they are a major pc parts power player in the states.

Sold and shipped by NewEgg for $689.99
Price Gouging when there isn't much inventory
I hate them and companies who do this
I'm not seeing that. Still 499 and OOS
I was just able to place my order at newegg. Time will tell if it will actually process or get cancelled.
Just got an email from Amazon that it's available now.
It is listed on their website, but they are not selling them online. In store only for now.Microcenter has yet to list them, Amazon has yet to list them, Newegg has only listed SOLD OUT as they have never gotten them in

I arrived a little too late. A guy snatched the last one a couple of minutes before I got there.
They are price gouging on 3700x. $449.99Just got an email from Amazon that it's available now.
In my part of EU, everything except 3600 and 3600X was a paper launch. ASUS and ASRock X570 boards also nowhere to be seen.
I always fucking hate that Amazon search results come up empty when something is out of stock. That's probably one reason people think this was a paper launch - they arrive in stock for 1 minute, then disappear again.
I agree with the post title, it's basically a paper launch. No stock to be found anywhere at this time, the 3900x 3800x and 3700x are all sold out at Newegg, Amazon never seemed to have any from the start.
Off topic. The 2080ti pre-order lasted hours though.Selling out everywhere in 10 minutes seems like a paper launch to me, just like the 2080ti was.

Amazing how many people don't know thisif 10,000 people are all tying to by the 5,000 they have then yes they will be sold out in just seconds...

A paper launch was the 7/8/7 Boeing 787 rollout. This isn’t. Just because there wasn’t much stock to go around doesn’t make it fake, which is what “paper launch” means.
They are price gouging on 3700x. $449.99
3900x is still selling for $499.99. (sold out again)
Not to mention that the 3900X came in stock today at BOTH Newegg and Amazon for a little while. Seems like they are getting new shipments in. Lot's of demand for these chips, no surprise there.
Can anyone post or PM me the Amazon link so I can set up a notification for a 3900x? Won't show up in search results if not in stock.
If anyone looking for a 3900X is local to these areas, Micro Center has them in stock right now:
GA - Duluth
MD - Rockville
MD - Parkville
MI - Madison Heights
MN - St. Louis Park
NY - Westbury
OH - Sharonville
PA - St. Davids
TX - Houston
Seems they're doing some pretty aggressive bundle discounts too. Best of luck to those in the market for one!
Well unless someone is willing to ship it to me I am out of luck for Microcenter, only one in my state is in Southern California and I am in Northern California.
